New government guidance

The government has removed remaining domestic restrictions in England and you are no longer required to test if you have symptoms. Although you can no longer get free PCR tests there are still packs of LFD test kits available at the University (see below).

You are no longer legally required to self-isolate if you have symptoms or test positive for COVID-19. We do, however, ask you to stay at home if you can and avoid contact with other people. Please remember that there are others in the University community, both staff and students, who are at greater risk from the virus and may become very unwell if they catch it.

You are no longer legally required to self-isolate following contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19.

Households (including Halls accommodation) no longer need to isolate if another member has tested positive.

If you have any of the COVID-19 symptoms (please see the latest list COVID-19 symptoms in adults)

Please stay at home as you can infect other people for at least 5 days from when your symptoms start. Please remember that there are others in the University community, both staff and students, who are at greater risk from the virus and may become very unwell if they catch it.
Please notify the University on the reporting form on this link: Covid-19 Report form 
Try to stay at home and avoid contact with other people until you are better.
