A number of people have been taken ill with an unidentified “gastro-intestinal illness” and the Health Protection Agency is investigating along with Oxford City Council and Oxford University.
The cause of the outbreak has not yet been confirmed and the full extent of the outbreak is not yet known.
A spokesman said the illness could be a virus or related to food.
