COVID-19: College Advice

Advice for Students, Staff and Fellows

Members of College are strongly encouraged to follow Government guidance to reduce spreading and catching COVID-19:

• Get fully vaccinated.
• Wear a mask in public spaces, particularly in queues, meeting rooms and other indoor spaces where there are many people.
• Open windows for ventilation in meeting rooms and other communal spaces.

If you have symptoms of a respiratory infection, such as COVID-19, and you have a high temperature or do not feel well enough to go to work or carry out normal activities, try to stay at home and avoid contact with other people, until you no longer have a high temperature (if you had one) or until you no longer feel unwell.

There is no longer any requirement to test regularly for COVID-19.

Staff members should continue to report sickness and absence as usual.

The College’s COVID Helpdesk is now closed.  Advice on infectious diseases can be obtained from the College Nurse or the University’s Communicable Disease Helpdesk.

Additional advice for Students

If you have symptoms of a respiratory infection (such as COVID, flu or a cold) and you have a high temperature or you do not feel well enough to go to lectures or carry out normal activities, you are advised to try to stay in your college room and avoid contact with other people.  If you need to go out to get food, please wear a mask at all times. If you feel well enough, you can attend your supervisions wearing a mask but please contact your supervisors in advance to see if they agree and can make necessary arrangements (eg opening windows). If they do not agree, please ask for the supervision to be rescheduled.

If you are recovering from a respiratory infection, please wear a mask and as a courtesy contact your supervisor to alert them.
