1. What is Coronavirus?
COVID-19 is a new illness that is caused by a virus called Coronavirus and can affect your lungs and airways.
The main symptoms are:
- A high temperature – this means you feel hot to touch on your chest or back.
- A new, continuous cough – this means coughing a lot for more than an hour, or 3 or more coughing episodes in 24 hours.
- Anosmia – this is the loss or change in your normal sense of smell and can have an effect on your taste.
For even more information about Coronavirus, its symptoms, how to avoid catching it and what to do if you have it, visit the NHS or the HSE websites.
2. Students Booking for 2023/24
We know there’s a lot of uncertainty surrounding COVID-19 for both existing and new students and the possible impact on your studies. That’s why we’ve maintained a set of commitments to give all students booking with us for the start of the 2023/24 academic year flexibility and peace of mind.
3. Our Commitment to Health & Safety
We understand that COVID-19 has been, and still is, a worrying and uncertain time for everyone. That’s why we’re committed to doing whatever it takes to protect our students and staff and minimise the risk of coronavirus at our accommodation.
Following an in-depth review by the British Safety Council (BSC) we have achieved the BSC COVID-19 Assurance Accreditation. This means our organisational policies, procedures and arrangements in response to the control of COVID-19 within our accommodations meet the current UK government guidelines.
