How staff should report instances of coronavirus as we return to campus
Although the NHS COVID-19 app is now in use, the University has agreed with the local public health authorities to undertake some campus tracing to speed up the process and manage outbreaks.
What do I need to do?
You must telephone your line manager if you:
- have a positive test for COVID-19
- experience symptoms of COVID-19
- enter self-isolation
Your line manager will ask you questions as they fill out the staff coronavirus reporting form.
Action for managers
If they haven't called you, you must telephone* your employee if you learn that they:
- have a confirmed case of COVID-19
- have COVID-19 symptoms
- are entering self-isolation
During this conversation you must complete the staff coronavirus reporting form which contains some simple track and trace questions. This form will steer your conversation.
We need enough detail about times, locations, and contact with other people on campus to carry out a risk assessment with the local health authority.
After you have completed the form one of your departmental track and trace contacts may follow up with you to ensure that the right amount of detail has been recorded and any necessary local actions are taken.
