Swine Flu Update
15 July 2009
With a new term about to begin, SOAS will be closely monitoring updates relating to swine flu from the Health Protection Agency (HPA). Although swine flu rates continue to fall, SOAS is encouraging all staff and students, particularly those who have arrived from overseas, to regularly check the HPA website for updates - www.hpa.org.uk
The HPA states that there is no need for staff, students or members of the public to stay away from schools, universities or workplaces unless they are exhibiting symptoms of swine flu. These symptoms are described in full on the HPA website above. SOAS continues to operate as normal including all library services.
We will continue to keep you updated on the situation but in the meantime, students with concerns or queries, can email welfare@soas.ac.uk or counsellors@soas.ac.uk
Managers and staff can contact their relevant HR teams for further advice or access confidential employee support by calling freephone 0800 085 6457 (24 hours).
