Covid-19
Advice for students living in the accommodation, and those who develop symptoms or test positive for the virus.
The UK Government relaxed restrictions on 24 February, though you should continue to monitor the rules for change. The pandemic is not over and the risk of infection remains.
You should therefore continue to take precautions as appropriate for your situation and show respect and tolerance towards your flatmates and our staff.
Minimising Transmission of Coronavirus
It is very common for the Coronavirus to be transmitted between household members when one person is asymptomatic or becomes ill - but it is not inevitable. A few simple precautions can reduce or stop the virus moving from one person to another. Following these few steps will help to protect you and your housemates.

Keeping your flat clean
- Make sure you clean bathrooms regularly (especially after a visitor has been) using your usual cleaning products.
- Regularly clean any high touch areas such as kitchen worktops, door handles, and remote controls.
- Close the toilet seat before you flush.
- Keep a window open in shared bathrooms if possible.

Personal hygiene
- Wash your hands with soap and water, or use hand sanitiser, when coming back to your flat.
- Avoid sharing towels.
- Food hygiene is always important, but more than ever you should make sure to wash your cutlery and crockery between uses and keep your surfaces clean.
- If exercising indoors open windows and keep your distance.

If you develop symptoms or test positive for Covid-19 we advise that you stay away from communal areas of campus, including Porters' Lodges and parcel rooms and campus outlets. You may arrange with your own College in writing for a friend who is not self-isolating to collect any parcels.
A number of our campus food outlets are offering a food delivery service to students, which you can find below.
If you live in University-managed catered accommodation, please email eat@lancaster.ac.uk with your student ID, isolation period, address, contact number and any allergies or dietary information.
