Advice for Students about Covid-19 and reporting if you have tested positive

If you have symptoms for Covid-19, you are advised to stay at home and not to come on to campus.

If you test positive for Covid-19 - even if you are not showing any symptoms - you should stay at home and not come onto campus. Always follow the advice given by the NHS and further information can be found on NHS.UK - COVID-19 advice and services

The latest Government advice on what to do if you have Covid-19, and for close contacts who live with someone who has tested positive, can be found on GOV.UK - Guidance for People with symptoms of a respiratory infection including COVID-19

What to do if you have symptoms of COVID-19

Try to stay at home and avoid contact with other people if you or your child have symptoms and either:

• Have a high temperature
• Do not feel well enough to go to attend university, go to work or do your normal activities

You can go back to normal activities when you feel better or do not have a high temperature.

What to do if you have test positive

You are no longer required to do a COVID-19 rapid lateral flow test if you have symptoms. But if you have tested positive for COVID-19, try to stay at home and avoid contact with other people for 5 days after the day you took your test. You should inform your tutor if you are unable to attend classes.
