8 December: The Government has announced new COVID-19 guidance this evening in response to the rising cases of the Omicron variant.
We are expecting specific guidance for the education sector and will review what this means for our staff and students across the University. We will provide a further and more detailed update tomorrow (9 December 2021).
The safety and wellbeing of our staff and students continues to be our main priority and our advice to all continues to be wear a mask, get tested and get vaccinated.
