Who do I need to tell if I have Covid-19 symptoms?
If you start to feel unwell and notice Covid-19 symptoms in yourself or flatmates, you need to contact the following people so that we can help you in the best and safest way. Your health and well-being is the most important thing to us.
Who to contact

If you are experiencing symptoms, we will try to contact you regularly - by phone where possible, or via email if you do not have a UK mobile number listed.
Please respond to these check-ups. If we do not hear back from you for two days, we may contact Security and may check on you in your room and possibly involve the emergency services. You can opt out of these wellbeing checks if you would prefer - if so, please email us to confirm this.
