Pick up your Covid home testing kits!

Following our on-campus testing we are now continuing to minimise the spread of infection from Covid by self-testing at home, using the lateral flow test kits.

Please collect home testing kits in the Refectory at Wakefield City Campus and at Reception at Castleford Campus between 8.30am and 1pm this week.

If you are unable to self-test an alternative arrangement can be made to do on site by emailing covidqueries@wakefield.ac.uk.

As case rates in the Wakefield District and across West Yorkshire remain high, it is extremely important that we all continue to self-test for Covid-19 and log the test results as in the guidance booklet.  Lateral flow tests should be undertaken twice a week.

Anyone displaying potential Covid-19 symptoms should stay at home and book a PCR test.  These can be booked/ordered via the gov.co.uk website.
