Any student testing positive for COVID-19 needs to notify their placement educator and then the University via the reporting tile on the My Brighton App or Web portal as soon as possible.​ See poster here

If the student has visited any university building or campus in the past 72 hours, they also need to contact 2222.

The above actions will instigate the appropriate University of Brighton response plans (agreed with our local Health Protection teams and regularly updated in line with government guidance).

In all cases, students testing positive should self-isolate in accordance with government guidance
