COVID-19 INFORMATION

In line with Scottish Government guidance, we recommend that staff and students give due consideration to the wearing of face masks in communal areas, and that all members of the UWS community fully respect those who wish to continue to wear a face covering on campus.

Existing measures around hand sanitiser, self-clean stations and a focussed cleaning regime will remain in place, with the continued provision of hand sanitiser products across all UWS campuses and facilities. We strongly encourage staff and students to maintain regular self-cleaning of workstations and study spaces.

In line with Scottish Government guidance, timetabled events for Term 3 (AY 21/22) and any formal or informal on-campus activities, will no longer require physical distancing.

When scheduling activities, timetabling will continue to ensure there is some additional capacity within rooms, to allow space for anyone who may wish to physically distance.

If you have symptoms
Free Covid-19 testing has now ended for most people in Scotland. Testing remains for specific groups in order to protect highest risk settings and support clinical care.

If you have symptoms of Covid, you should inform your line manager or course leader, at your earliest convenience, follow the normal absence reporting arrangements, and work remotely if possible.

UWS will continue to engage with Scottish Government guidance regarding the monitoring of CO₂ levels across campuses, with a focus on key identified areas and additional spot checks periodically, and where appropriate. Window opening will be encouraged, especially in enclosed spaces, and those without mechanical ventilation.
