Question 1

The measures we are taking in our accommodation to prevent the spread of COVID19

Accepted Answer

Where possible we will be adopting a 1 way traffic zone, i.e The main entrances will now to be used as the exit only and secondary entrances will be used and entry only. Such measures are not physically possible in all our buildings, and where this is the case we will be installing floor markings to remind you to keep your distance from fellow residence and again, where possible, safe waiting areas so that you can keep clear of oncoming foot traffic.  Where applicable a perspex sneeze guard is soon to be placed in front of reception openings. Packages will not be handed directly to students. You must wait in a designated area whilst a member of our teams puts your parcel in a collection point. If there is a reception in your building, we have introduced a mobile phone service where by you can call one of our reception staff to arrange for contactless parcel collection and any other assistance which you may require. Please check your emails and posters in your building for this phone number once it is available.  If you collect your parcels from Hive Accommodation offices, please call ahead to confirm we have recieved your parcel. We kindly ask that you call us when you're outside our office so that we can safely leave your parcel for you in our safe space.  You will also notice an increased number of visits by our cleaning team, who will be making regular visits to wipe down door handles and handrails in our buildings.  To prevent spread, Communal rooms are to be locked, including study pods, until 30th June 2020. Using lifts should be avoided. No congregating in the main reception, lobby or corridors.    Where possible all students should wear face masks when walking through the building.  Due to a recent increase in rubbish bags not being disposed of correctly, anyone caught not disposing their waste inside the bin will be charged £50 per bag, this is to deter people from leaving bags beside bins which then have to be handled by our team. Lastly, we are in the process of procuring temperature monitoring systems that will allow you to check your temperature when you enter one of our buildings. If you have a high temperature you should follow government advice and self-isolate for 14 days. If your symptoms get progressively worse, you should call 999.

Thank you.
