How we support Edge Hill
Allowing students to return home with a reduced risk of spreading the infection
Between 30th November and 9th December we provided staff on the Edge Hill campus in a supervisory capacity to oversee the process of COVID-19 testing which allows students to return home with reduced risk of spreading the infection to friends, family and wider community and reducing the impact of the COVID19 pandemic.
Our staff were in place to ensure that testing guidelines were adhered to, the appropriate PPE was worn and to organise the flow from an infection control viewpoint and also work as focal points and team leaders for any issues that arose.
We performed 2,198 tests over the 9 day period. Many students were tested twice as per the policy. This exercise was mainly aimed at the student population that lives on site campus. In the New Year this will be opened up to all students with over 12,000 test slots available over the next testing period.
