Last updated on Monday 11 April 2022. 

As of Friday 1 April 2022, the UK Government guidelines in England have changed. These include the following: 

  1. If you have symptoms or have tested positive for COVID-19, you are advised to try to stay at home and avoid contact with other people. Further guidance can be found here. 

  2. Free testing for coronavirus from the NHS has ended for most people. If you still want to get tested and you're not eligible for a free NHS test, you must pay for a COVID-19 test yourself. You can buy a COVID-19 test from some pharmacies and retailers, in person or online.

Safety measures at UCL 

  • Students and staff are expected to continue wearing face coverings in teaching settings and are strongly advised to continue to wear a face covering in crowded and enclosed spaces unless exempt. 
  • If you feel unwell, you must not come to campus. If you have COVID-19 symptoms, you are advised to try to stay at home and avoid contact with other people.
  • If you have tested positive for COVID-19, report your status through UCL Connect to Protect.
