Coronavirus (COVID-19)
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
Daily reported COVID-19 cases
We have set up a dedicated page to provide information on the numbers of positive test results for COVID-19 from University of Reading students and staff reported to us. The page will be updated each weekday.
LATERAL FLOW testing for students and staff
Our rapid on-campus COVID-19 testing centre at the SportsPark closed at the end of May.
We are encouraging all students and staff who are working on campus to take lateral flow tests regularly, even if you have received your vaccination and are not displaying any symptoms of COVID-19.
You can pick up free home testing kits from the dedicated collection point in the Library. The collection point is open:
Monday – Thursday between 13:00–16:00
- Alternatively, you can also find local sites offering assisted lateral flow tests on the government website, or get a home test kit from:
- by post - if you can't collect a home test kit from campus, you can order a pack of seven test kits from the NHS to be delivered to your home quickly by post
- a local pharmacy.
