Since the start of October, there has been a weekly update on the number of cases of students and staff who have reported that they are currently self-isolating following a positive test for Covid-19.  

The Update on Covid-19 cases webpage now includes additional information such as what to do if you are self-isolating or if you have symptoms. In response to feedback from staff, the cumulative figure for the total number of cases reported is also being published as part of our weekly update. Since the start of September, the cumulative number is 96.

The number of cases of students and staff who are currently self-isolating following a positive test for Covid-19 that have been reported to us is currently 30, including one member of staff.  Again, although figures remain comparatively low, there is no room for complacency. We continue to remind students of the need to comply with government and University guidelines.  Although the vast majority continue to do so, we have robust procedures in place to manage any exceptions.  

Staff working on campus should ensure that they are fully aware of the safety measures we have put in place to limit the spread of Covid-19.

We continue to work with the public health team who are satisfied with the measures we have in place at the University. Their advice supports the decisions that are being made across all activities, including the plans for the end of term and the Christmas period. Staff will be updated as soon as these are finalised.
