Please continue to follow the Hands Face Space guidance

TLDRoffon

As more of our courses resume on campus we must all continue to follow these three simple steps, as well as the guidance on households and other changes from 8 March.

Whether you are resuming on-campus learning or continuing to learn online, the Hands Face Space guidance still applies.  

From 8 March step 1 out of the lockdown begins

We are resuming on-campus learning for courses which need special equipment, labs or access such as on our Science, Health and Teaching programmes.

Outdoor recreation or exercise with your household or 1 other person is allowed.  Please act responsibly and our local councils have asked that you also take any litter home with you.

Households

The government has introduced a new £800 fine for those attending house parties, including in halls of residence, which will double for each repeat offence to a maximum level of £6,400.  These fines will apply to those who attend illegal gatherings of more than 15 people from outside their household.

For students living in halls of residence, you and your flatmates are considered to be a household. You can find further information in our Guide to being Covid-Safe in Halls of Residence and on our Accommodation web pages. You can also contact our Accommodation teams with any questions you may have.

Please keep up to date with the government guidance on their website: https://www.gov.uk/coronavirus

Please remember:

Wash hands

Keep washing your hands regularly.

Cover face

Wear a face covering (unless you are exempt)  in enclosed spaces - this includes in university buildings and vehicles.
