Update from EHU media team; QLocal Ormskirk reporter Roger Blaxall's still none the wiser about how many students have actually tested positive at the University...
Deputy Vice-Chancellor Steve Igoe said: “We want to assure everyone in the local community that their health and wellbeing, as well as that of our students and staff, remains our number one priority.
"We are following all Government advice and working closely with Public Health officials in the region to maintain a Covid-Secure environment.
“We have developed an Outbreak Management Plan in partnership with, and approved by, Public Health and local authority partners to control and prevent the spread of the virus, which outlines measures to identify and contain local outbreaks and protect the public’s health.
"This includes robust processes outlining what to do if a student, colleague or visitor develops symptoms on or off campus and our plan supports the national track and trace system to contact close or direct contacts in the event of any positive case.
“Currently any students who show Covid-19 symptoms are asked to self-isolate immediately and book a test.
"If they test positive we ask them to follow all NHS guidelines, ensuring they tell test and trace about any close contacts they have had and self-isolate for two weeks. We have also asked students who have symptoms, test positive or have been told to self-isolate by NHS Test and Trace to inform the university at the earliest opportunity. To support students living on campus in self-isolation we are offering food packages as well as mental health and wellbeing advice making it easier for them to adhere to the rules.
“To reduce the chances of infection all students and staff have been asked to adhere to our Community Pledge which asks them to take personal responsibility for preventing the spread of the virus. The pledge includes a commitment to adhere to all public health guidance, maintain the highest hygiene standards, wear a face mask in all buildings and notify the university at the first sign of illness. You can find more about the pledge here ehu.ac.uk/pledge.
“The University, working in conjunction with Universities UK, has also been successful in attracting a local testing centre to the campus which will be available through the NHS booking service for both community and University use.
“With this wide range of measures in place, students have been able start the new academic year understanding their responsibilities, ensuring we all look out for each other and reducing any risk to our community.”
