We wish all those colleagues and students who may be currently unwell a speedy recovery.
We have published information for students who are self-isolating . If you are self-isolating, we will do everything we can to support you.
The figure we are reporting is the number of new known positive cases among our staff and students, as of the preceding day. It includes those on and off campus and does not indicate where the virus might have been contracted.
This is not a Public Health England validated number and should be read in conjunction with the latest published information . The figure is obtained from those staff and students who have reported a case to the University using our agreed process and is published with a delay to ensure accuracy. All cases are reported daily to Public Health England to ensure action is coordinated efficiently.
Asymptomatic lateral flow testing
The University offered on-campus testing for students and staff from January to July 2021. The cumulative testing figures from this period are as follows:
Total tests administered (students): 12,425
Total tests administered (staff/non-students): 6,669
Cumulative positive tests: 89
Collection points on campus
You can now collect free rapid lateral flow home testing kits from our campus catering outlets. You can see details of their opening hours at:
You can also order home test kits online .
More information on asymptomatic lateral flow testing is available on our COVID-19 testing page .
Safety measures and reporting a case
We have put in place significant safety measures , in line with the latest advice from Public Health England, our own public health academic experts, and our colleagues in Estates and Safety Services.
Reporting a case is a major part of this set of measures and students and staff are doing the right thing by getting tested if they have symptoms, and letting the University know. Everyone will be supported by the University while they are recovering.
Our campus remains as safe a place as possible to work and study, in line with government guidance. We are actively monitoring the situation and will let you know if things change.
Please continue to follow the rules on campus and where you live. We strongly recommend that you download the NHS COVID-19 app and help us maintain safety of all of our people.
