If you are required to self-isolate for 14 days this means that you are not normally allowed to leave your house, flat or studio during this period. If you have symptoms of COVID-19 or a positive test, then you should avoid contact with other household members as much as possible.

Other members of your household, including those who do not have any symptoms, need to stay at home and not leave the house for 14 days. Do not go out even to buy food or other essentials, and any exercise should be taken within your home. This 14-day period starts from the day when the first person in your house became ill or if they do not have symptoms, from the day their test was taken.

Here at JMSU, we also have a team of Quarantine Support Volunteers  who are they to support students with collecting ‘click and collect’ shopping or medical supplies from a Pharmacy. We also have a team of buddies that are there to help you settle into life at University and put you in touch with other students. They can both be contacted at jmsuvolunteering@ljmu.ac.uk.

You can also speak to LJMU Student Advice and Wellbeing if you require additional advice and support. If you have specific academic issues, you can contact the JMSU Advice Service, who can advise you on a wide range of university issues.

If you are in student accommodation you will be required to self-isolate, if you or another member of the flat (household) tests positive for COVID-19. Staff in your accommodation will be able to provide additional information on what that means - contact the Reception point.
