titleBuilding usage during Covid

You must not enter the building if the following apply:

  • you are suffering from symptoms of Covid-19 - isolate and book a PCR test if you are showing symptoms of Covid-19
  • you have tested positive by PCR for Covid-19
  • you have been told to isolate by NHS test and trace

When can you start re-testing following a positive covid test?

  • For a PCR test, you should not retest (unless advised otherwise by the NHS) within 90 days of a positive test as a PCR may still pick up trace remnants of the virus.

Restrictions are in place for certain areas of the building as per the list below. The reason restrictions exist are to:

  • Ensure we have a resilient track and trace system in place
  • Ensure that welfare and rest facilities are not overloaded
  • Assist with ensuring high traffic areas are clean
  • Maintain indoor air quality to prevent the potential spread of virus
  • Ensure we remain Covid-Secure as per existing government guidance and legislation

The restrictions we have in place are as follows:
