Advice for students in Reading over Christmas

For the latest COVID-19 government restrictions and further advice about what is and isn’t permitted, please see the government website.

COVID-19 hotline

While the University is closed for the Christmas break (22 December – 4 January) the hotline will transition to an email service only and the phone line will be closed. For urgent COVID-19 related questions from students and staff that cannot wait until we return on 4 January, such as access to testing or self-isolation support, email covid-hotline@reading.ac.uk. We will check the inbox daily, apart from 24 – 26 December and 1 January, to respond to urgent queries only.

Students living in halls should contact the Halls Hotline on 0800 029 1984.

The COVID-19 phone line will reopen on Monday 4 January (0118 214 7813)
