Preparing for University - Student Update on Coronavirus (COVID-19)
Now that the A Level results have been released, students will be planning for the next phase of their academic lives. Whilst none of us know what the next few months will bring, universities and academic institutions will be set on creating a safe, clean and vibrant place to live by ensuring that ‘COVID-secure’ measures are in place.
Before moving to university it is important to ensure that the Government guidelines issued by Public Health England, the NHS and Foreign & Commonwealth Office and check the protocols put in place by the university.
How can you protect yourself from COVID-19?
The most effective method of protecting yourself and others is to social distance. Also ensure that you have very strict cleaning and hygiene protocols in place - wash your hands regularly and keep surfaces clean.
Personal waste, for example, tissues and face coverings (disposable masks) should be placed securely within disposable rubbish bags. These bags must be placed into another bag, tied securely and kept separate from other waste. This should be put aside for at least 72 hours before being put in your usual property waste bin. Other household waste can be disposed of as normal.
Do Not Compromise on Health - Coronavirus Guidance
We are grateful to clients who are calling the advice line to share their experiences so that other letting agents and property managers can be made aware of the situations that they may have to deal with.
Scenario - a property where the Gas Safety is due. This was scheduled to be carried out today, however the tenant in question has contacted the letting agent to advise that they are self-isolating as they have been in contact with someone who is being tested for the Coronavirus.
