Information you need
The wearing of face coverings is optional, but the College advises that you wear these in busy areas.
We recommend that all students and staff make lateral flow (rapid) testing a part of their regular routine, to identify people who are positive but do not have symptoms and help keep everyone safe. You can find more information about the #GetTested4Bristol campaign here.
Please be reminded that all other Covid safety guidelines remain in place and must be adhered to.
