A coronavirus is a type of virus. The most important symptoms of coronavirus (Covid-19) are recent onset of any of the following:
For most people, coronavirus (Covid-19) will be a mild illness.
Children are likely to become infected with coronavirus (Covid-19) at roughly the same rate as adults, but the infection is usually mild.
If anyone has any of the symptoms above they should self-isolate at home.
For the latest advice according to where you live, please see the Government Covid-19 webpages.
There are three simple actions we must all do to keep on protecting each other:
The University has undertaken extensive work to ensure that students, staff and essential visitors are safe when they return to campus. This has encompassed many different areas - from risk assessments and enhanced cleaning, to social distancing measures and modifications to reduce campus footfall.
In November 2020, the University established on-campus testing centres offering rapid Covid-19 tests to students and staff ahead of the Christmas break help stop the spread of the virus to family and friends. Almost 4,000 tests were performed.
Students on a limited number of courses were able to return in the New Year, and rapid Covid-19 testing centres reopened to enable students to test and then self-isolate if necessary. Further courses resumed in-person learning from 8 March.
We have published a Five Steps process to working safely at Oxford Brookes, which aligns with Government guidance on reopening workplaces.
We have appropriate plans and procedures in place to act rapidly as the situation changes.
For those self-isolating, or for people currently living with someone who is self-isolating, Public Health England provides the following guidance.
We understand that this may be a difficult time for some of our staff and students.
We have set up an email address to respond to all questions and concerns about Covid-19: covid-19@brookes.ac.uk.
