We encourage everyone to take a test before leaving the university to minimise any risk of transmission. This is particularly important given the rising cases of the Delta variant of Covid. The university’s Asymptomatic Test is a saliva test which can be done in minutes and results are usually available within 24 hours.

In addition to this, the government's home testing kits (lateral flow devices) are available to everyone and can be collected from any pharmacy, including Boots at Cripps Health Centre. Kits are also available from the government testing sites on University Park and Jubilee Campuses from 2.30pm each day or can be ordered online.
