Stay at home if you have either: a high temperature you feel hot to touch on your chest or back a new, continuous cough this means youve started coughing repeatedly Do not go to a GP surgery, pharmacy or hospital. You do not need to contact 111 to tell them youre staying at home. Testing for coronavirus is not needed if youre staying at home. Please let a member of the Nido residence know immediately (preferably via phone) if you have symptoms of coronavirus and need to self-isolate. We can provide you with the advice and the support you will require during this time.

HOW LONG TO STAY AT HOME?

If you have symptoms, stay at home for 7 days If you live with other people, they should stay at home for 14 days from the day the first person got symptoms If you have to stay at home together, try to keep away from each other as much as possible. Read the NHS advice about staying at home.

You can also leave the house to exercise once a day but stay at least 2 metres away from other people.

WHAT SHOULD I DO IF I HAVE AN UNDERLYING HEALTH CONDITION?

These include: Not leaving your home you should not go out to do shopping or visit friends or family Avoiding close contact with other people in your home as much as possible We are aware that a small number of our students have serious underlying health issues which could make them particularly vulnerable if they acquire coronavirus. Please do let us know if you are concerned, and we can assess the support which can be provided to you. Students may want to consult a doctor, however, because NHS services may be under pressure people are being encouraged to call NHS 111 in the first instance.

WHAT CAN I DO IF I'M FEELING ANXIOUS ABOUT CORONAVIRUS?

It is perfectly understandable that you might be anxious or worried about coronavirus and the impact it could have on your life, particularly because this might include being asked to stay at home or to avoid other people. Mind has created a guide here focusing on staying mentally healthy in light of the current situation and we would encourage any students who feel concerned to read the information carefully. The NHS has also issued the following advice to assist you in looking after your mental health by staying mentally and physically active during this time, such as: Look for ideas of exercises you can do at home Spend time doing things you enjoy this might include reading, cooking, other indoor hobbies or listening to the radio or watching TV programmes Try to eat healthy, well-balanced meals, drink enough water and try to avoid smoking, alcohol and drugs Keep your windows open to let in fresh air, get some natural sunlight if you can, or get outside into the garden (where possible) You can also go for a walk or exercise outdoors once a day if you stay more than 2 metres from others.

WHAT IS THE LIKELIHOOD OF CORONAVIRUS SPREADING IN THE RESIDENCE?

The UK Government is expecting and planning for the significant spread of the virus in the population, and that means it is likely there will be cases. When we have a case or cases at one of our properties, we will act quickly and decisively to ensure those affected receive the appropriate support, guidance, and treatment and are able to self-isolate. We will also ensure all residents are given the appropriate information and advice to manage the risks. If we or Public Health England believe you have been in contact with a known case, you will be informed, and offered the appropriate support.
