*A 'current' case is defined as an individual who has tested positive for the NHS COVID-19 test and is currently self-Isolating.
To protect everyone in our community we ask all our staff and students who test positive for COVID-19 to follow NHS England guidance and self-isolate. The ten day self-isolation period starts from the day symptoms begin or the date of a positive NHS test, if there are no symptoms. If an individual develops symptoms during the ten-day period of self-isolation they are required continue to self-isolate for a further 10 days from the day symptoms began.
The tables above show the numbers of new cases reported by affected individuals to the University for the day on which the report was made. The University is reliant on individuals reporting their positive test results promptly. If any delay occurs in reporting cases, the date on which they are recorded may differ to that on which the individual’s symptoms began or when they received a positive test result.
