Students Need not to Worry About Second Phase of UK Lock Down

United Kingdom: Prime Minister Announced Lockdown As Second Wave Covid-19 Strikes UK, What About Universities??

The second wave of corona has hit the European countries and the infection rate is far worse than the initial in Europe. The United Kingdom is one of the badly affected with the sudden rise of positive cases and deaths.

 

In a bid to control the second wave, the United Kingdom has once again entered into the Lockdown protocol, prime minister of the UK Boris Johnson officially announced the 4 weeks lockdown up to December-2, saying there is no alternative other than lockdown to control the covid-19 spread.


 

The UK government has issued the second lockdown rules and restrictions

What about Universities in and across the UK?

The rules and regulations are changing from university to university as each one is maintaining their own regulations, unlike the first complete lockdown implemented during March. Apart from online classes, few institutions are continuing in-person classes on campus for a few months. The rise of the corona second wave might alter the operation of universities later and more changes and actions might come into effect.

 

 

Few pupils in some universities who are attacked with corona are kept in quarantine, while international students are in self-quarantine for 14 days in their accommodations. Universities are providing food and other amenities for quarantined students.

 

 

Each university is implementing its own set of  coronavirus restrictions and measures as per the intensity of corona in their regions. Still, the dilemma over permitting students to go home for Christmas is still going, an announcement from the government is yet to come.


Here is the List of The Covid-19 safety measures implemented at Universities that are prone to  the second wave of Pandemic.

 

 

Face masks are mandatory on campus: classrooms, labs, hostels, walkway etc and other places in campus

 

Social distancing and sanitization

 

One-way system Implemented

 

Societies, Events and sports clubs are closed

 

Library closures in few campuses, while Limited capacity of students are allowed in other institutes

 

Closure of meeting rooms and entertainment clubs
