Feeling ill? Stay at home
|
In a close-knit community like ours, we must all do what we can to prevent the spread of illness. If you don’t feel well, make sure someone knows but please stay at home in order to reduce the spread of illnesses. Know the symptoms of infectious illnesses such as covid, flu or meningitis and get advice if your symptoms worsen. Find out how to record your sick leave if you're ill during semester time.

Sleigh the volume, please

As we approach the festive season, please remember to be a good neighbour and keep noise levels down when returning from a night out. This includes inner city residential streets like Walmgate.
