Latest Information

It is our collective responsibility to adhere to all UK government and institutional guidance to protect the health and wellbeing of our whole community. In particular, you must read our health and safety guidance and advice on symptoms, testing, and self-isolation. 
 
For the latest COVID-19 government restrictions and further advice about what is and isn’t permitted, please see the government website. 

  • Book a lateral flow test if you don’t have symptoms 
  • Twice weekly testing is also available to everyone living in England and you can find out more on the government website.
  • Vaccinations: If you feel you are likely to be offered a vaccine based on the current priority groups but you haven’t been contacted yet, please speak to your GP for further advice. You can also enter your NHS number on the NHS website to check when you become eligible to book a vaccine. 
  • Visit our dashboard for information on the number of positive cases of COVID-19 reported by students and staff.

Students, staff and members of the public can contact our dedicated COVID-19 Support Hotline at covid-hotline@reading.ac.uk. These enquiries will be monitored daily from Monday to Friday. 

Please note: members of the public cannot book COVID-19 tests through this service. If you need to book a COVID-19 test, please call the NHS on 111 or visit Get a COVID-19 test.
