For all Staff and Students

We hope that all staff and students can observe the following precautionary measures; the University Health Service (UHS) would be happy to provide further assistance. If you are feeling unwell, consult your doctor promptly if you have developed respiratory symptoms such as fever, malaise, chills, headache, joint pain, dizziness, rigors, cough, sore throat and runny nose – EARLY TREATMENT is the KEY.

Personal Hygiene

  • Wash your hands frequently, especially when you have sneezed or have used public installations.
  • Use liquid soap to wash hands, then dry with a clean towel/tissue paper or a hand drier. Rub hands with a 65% - 95% alcohol solution to disinfect the hands when hand washing facilities are not available.
  • Wear a mask if you develop a runny nose, sore throat or cough.
  • Keep a face mask handy when visiting crowded or poorly ventilated areas.

Communal Hygiene
  • Do not share towels or personal items.
  • Use serving spoons and chopsticks.
  • Maintain good indoor ventilation and open windows.
  • Avoid contact with live poultry or birds, especially for children. Wash your hands immediately after handling them.
