The amended guidance in full can be found here.
Infection Control Guidance
Below is a summary of key points:
- If you test positive - staff, students and contractors should inform the university if they test positive for Covid-19 or develop the symptoms of a respiratory infection / infectious illness. Those who are positive or symptomatic are expected to stay at home in line with government guidance.
- We will continue to promote sensible behaviour - i.e. getting vaccinated, keeping a distance from others, practicing good hygiene and not attending campus if you have symptoms.
- The arrangements for cleaning and ventilation remain unchanged. As does the expectation that all staff / students will make use of the wipes and sanitising sprays/stations provided.
What has changed
- Wearing of face coverings is currently a personal choice. However, the University strongly encourages masks within indoor settings should case numbers rise again, or a risk assessment identifies a need.
- The 2m separation between the lecturer and the class in teaching spaces will be removed, to reflect planning on classroom layouts for 2022/23;
- The Covid Safe Charter has been withdrawn, in line with the focus on infection control measures that are not specific to Covid-19.
