It's great to hear that free regular testing will be available to ensure that we can tackle COVID-19 head on and so that the entire college community is kept safe this coming year!https://twitter.com/universitytimes/status/1303994960254033921 …

This will NOT keep the entire college community safe if it is only available to those who live in uni accommodation. I'd wager most of the staff and students live off campus and rent privately.

Not to mention how many people flatshare in the current housing crisis, or how many people need to commute in. No one's walking to campus from Santry, and if masks aren't being 100% adhered to on public transport then what about those risks?

What about any asymptomatic people who come to campus and don't wear a mask? There are already people not wearing masks or wearing them incorrectly or taking them off. Or lecturers who have to wear face visors? Those won't protect for spread.

Hi, we can assure you that testing will be available to all members of the college community and not just residents. We can't control what people do off-campus but this testing will help to track cases.

RE: Face Visors, the college have opted for lecturers to wear these so that lecture content is accessible for all students. We've been assured that they will only be wearing visors at an extended safe distance and will have to wear masks in all closer proximity situations

Yeah I am aware of the recommendations, because I am a PhD student and we have to teach. Face visors do not stop spread, and students who are HOH should have accommodations made for them for online learning.
