I just received an email from the powers that be, that all student
visa holders from Mexico, the USA, Canada, Spain, Nuu Jiirando and for
some reason Australia (where there haven't been any cases as yet) are
to be checked. "What about the customers from these 6 countries who
are here on tourist or working holiday visas?"... says I. "There is
nothing in the documentation about needing to check them, even if they
are sharing the same classroom".

Oooo Kaay.
