The Government has now shared its plan for facilitating student travel home for the Christmas holiday. As such we wanted to update you on the work the University has been doing and what this means for you, should you wish to take advantage of the Government’s ‘student travel window’. You will find a summary of all you need to know on this University webpage and the Government guidance can be found on the Government’s coronavirus website here.
The University has been successful in securing asymptomatic testing for students who would like the assurance that they would be at a lower risk of transmitting the virus if they choose to return home during the Government’s travel window from 3-9 December. These tests are only for people who do not have symptoms of coronavirus and are not compulsory. An invitation to book a test will be sent to all students by 1 December. These will be staggered by academic school, so please wait until you are contacted before trying to book a test. You will find more detailed information on the webpage linked above.
At Lincoln, we have undertaken extensive work to make our campus as safe as possible, whilst continuing to provide blended learning and social activities as required by Government. Please continue to engage in your studies until the end of the winter term, which finishes on 18 December.
