From the article:
Fears that foreign students may be importing COVID-19 to Northern Cyprus have been growing following reports that 27 new African students who registered at Cyprus International University tested positive for the virus.  
 
This, in turn, has sparked behaviour towards international students which they perceived to be xenophobic and racist, according to Voices of International Students (VOIS) in Cyprus, a student-led organisation advocating the rights of foreign learners.
