TLDRoffon

If you have access to tests, you are encouraged to take a test before coming into contact with people who you know are at high or increased risk of severe illness from coronavirus, such as people with weakened immune systems.

On 1 April, the government have issued guidance for living safely with respiratory infections, including coronavirus (Covid-19).

With the support of the University, home LFD test kits are now available for students and staff to buy through GSU outlets:

  • Lower Deck at Greenwich
  • Village Shop at Avery Hill
  • Deep End at Medway

Kits are being sold at cost at considerably below high street prices (£1.54 for one test or £3.00 for two tests). All our test kits are approved for use in the UK.

If you have access to tests, you are encouraged to take a test before coming into contact with people who you know are at high or increased risk of severe illness from coronavirus, such as people with weakened immune systems.

Thank you for your continued cooperation and for continuing to act responsibly to keep our university and local communities safe.
