Covid Outbreak Management
- Take 2 lateral flow tests per week to identify virus before spread. If positive book a PCR test and do not attend SU activity/ Oriam until negative.
- Do not attend a session if you have any symptoms and go get tested.
- If you or a close contact of yours has either caught virus or has been in contact with someone who has the virus don’t wait to get “pinged” as a close contact, go and get a PCR test immediately and as a precaution and wait until you get a negative test before coming back into SU activity/ Oriam.
- Report any positive tests to our SU Covid Officer – Graeme Ormiston.
