2. Taking precautions听

As of 23 March, in line with new Government guidelines, you must now:

• stay 2 metres away from other people
• wash your hands as soon as you get home

Please visit for more guidance on staying at home and away from other people.

No. The听听apply听to everyone, and everyone should follow them regardless of their age or whether or not they are more at risk from the infection. The听guidelines听are designed to stop the spread of the virus 鈥� this includes passing the virus on to those who are more vulnerable. Please be considerate.

Should I wear a protective face mask?

Advice from the听听and听听states that following hygiene precautions such as thoroughly washing hands with soap and water, covering your mouth and nose with a tissue if you cough or sneeze, and keeping surfaces clean, are the best ways to avoid catching or spreading the virus. There is little evidence that masks are effective in preventing the spread of the virus.

However, we know that some people may choose to wear face masks to protect themselves and others from possible infection. It is important that we recognise their decision and we encourage our community to be as supportive of each other as possible.

Why is the advice to wash hands with soap and water, rather than hand sanitiser?

These articles, on听the听听and the听, explain how soap and water work so well.

What should I tell students or colleagues who need to come to the Royal Free Hospital (where coronavirus patients are being treated) and who have concerns about personal safety?听

Coronavirus patients at the Royal Free Hospital are isolated from other patients and visitors. Please see the hospital's web site for visitor information.听

How is 新香港六合彩开奖结果maintaining critical ISD processes at this time?

We are in the process of pulling together a rota of volunteers to cover on-site urgent and emergency requirements, who will have access to servers and machine rooms on campus. Volunteers will also be able to access 新香港六合彩开奖结果accommodation if needed.

What are the arrangements for liquid helium and nitrogen delivery?

BOC Onsite is working as normal at present and 新香港六合彩开奖结果buyers should follow normal procedures. If you require anything outside the usual regular Cryogenic service, please email the Purchase Order to UCL@boc.com who will deliver within the usual time periods.

Estates need to be made aware of when and where deliveries will take place so that they can arrange access and security. They also require confirmation that the receiving person/team are in, are aware of the delivery, and are prepared to receive delivery as Estates can only facilitate delivery of gases.

Please email delivery information to the following addresses: logistics@ucl.ac.uk; i.porter@ucl.ac.uk; a.weston@ucl.ac.uk; s.shine@ucl.ac.uk; mb.west@ucl.ac.uk

If orders are placed but BOC cannot deliver, please escalate this to 新香港六合彩开奖结果Procurement.

What is happening with the construction projects taking place at UCL? [New]

The 新香港六合彩开奖结果Estates team has been in discussion with the main contractors on each of the projects in the Transforming 新香港六合彩开奖结果capital programme.

For those projects that are in contract and on site, it is the contractor鈥檚 decision whether to pause or proceed with construction work. Those that choose to continue work must follow government social distancing guidelines, including the requirement for site workers to stay at least two metres apart. It is UCL鈥檚 decision whether to pause projects that are in contract but not on site, or those which are not yet in contract.听

Which construction projects have been paused? [New]

As of 3 April, construction activity has been paused on 19 of the 25 projects that are under contract and on site. These include Marshgate at the new 新香港六合彩开奖结果East campus in Stratford, where the contractor Mace has decided to pause construction, and the early enabling works for the major refurbishment of 20 Bedford Way (新香港六合彩开奖结果Institute of Education).

In addition, 新香港六合彩开奖结果decided to stop early enabling works and surveys as of 27 March on the site of the new neuroscience research facility at 256 Grays Inn Road. The contract for the main construction work on this project was yet to be signed.听
This is to protect the safety of all persons involved across 新香港六合彩开奖结果and our supply chains, conform to government advice and ultimately mitigate UCL鈥檚 financial exposure. Activities that can continue remotely are ongoing, including design development and procurement.

Clearly, pausing activity will have an impact on the planned construction programme for these 19 projects. Until there is more certainty about the length of the lockdown in the UK it isn鈥檛 possible to confirm updated programmes. 新香港六合彩开奖结果Estates will work closely with the relevant departments to keep them updated of any further changes to construction activity and to notify other stakeholders. However, preparations for teaching and learning activity in these locations should continue as planned.听
Work has also been paused on all smaller improvement works and maintenance projects across campus, with the exception of projects that are currently in scoping or design stages.

Vinci and Volker FitzPatrick, the contractors on the Pool Street West development at 新香港六合彩开奖结果East and the new Person-Environment-Activity Research Laboratory in Dagenham respectively have decided to continue work in line with government guidelines to ensure the health and wellbeing of workers.
