LONDON: The number of meningitis cases being probed by UK authorities has risen to 20, the Health Security Agency said Wednesday, following an “unprecedented” outbreak centered on a university. The outbreak in Kent in southeastern England has claimed the lives of two young people — a 21-year-old university student and an 18-year-old school student. The focus of public health measures so far has been the University of Kent, which has around 18,000 students, some of whom are among those hospitalized with meningitis.

At least 13 cases of the virus have been reported to health officials
