The University commits to behaving responsibly in putting measures in place to prioritise the safety, health and wellbeing of everyone on our campuses.

It is really important that everyone at the University works together to control the spread of COVID-19. It is particularly important that we all - students and staff alike - let the University know immediately if we have one or more of the symptoms of COVID-19.  This enables us to work with you, your house/flat mates, your Academic Department and public health authorities to keep everyone as safe as possible.

Students can notify the University by completing an online form here Covid-19 Report form or by emailing  Covidreport@chi.ac.uk.

Members of staff are requested to let their line manager and HR know as soon as possible.

What can I do to help keep myself and other safe?

There is still a lot of covid-19 around so you should:

be outside when possible
make sure there is plenty of fresh air indoors
not get too close to people you don’t live with, especially not for long periods of time
carry on wearing a face mask in full or crowded places and on public transport

I’m feeling unwell, what do I do?

If you have any of the COVID-19 symptoms stay at home and self-isolate, arrange to have a test and notify the University by completing the form here: University Online Report form or email Covidreport@chi.ac.uk.

If you are not sure phone 111 for guidance or use the NHS Covid-19 App.
