We just got an email from our university that says that there will be a program in the next few weeks to do mass testing of staff and students...who only live in campus/uni accommodation. Which I do not think actually accounts for most of the population who work/study there

They said that IDing clusters within residences is important, and I agree. But if asymptomatic or presymptomatic people come onto campus and refuse to wear masks etc or have these face visors or whatever, that will be bad.

@tcddublin@pjprendergast we all deserve to have testing, not just the people who live in uni residences. And honestly, how many postgrads live in residence@GoddessGuide@AbhiswetaBhatt1? We have to come into campus, and many need to use public transportation.2 replies 0 retweets 1 likeShow this thread -

Hi
@AdmiralHip I can clearly read your concerns. The introduction of regular screening will be on a pilot basis first. However, I have asked at a meeting that postgraduates who carry out physical teaching and demonstrating and those in HS be also included alongside academic staff1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

The email said that those who live off campus will not be tested, and that it only may be introduced in the future. This isn't an issue of who is considered staff, unless the email is incorrect and that all academic staff are able to get tested.

And we have no specific timelines here either. So when they say it may be introduced, when is that? November? February? I want to be very clear that I do not feel safe, nor do I feel my colleagues are safe, and your lack of transparency and communication regarding this

is not okay. There remain so many problems. I keep shouting into the void about face visors, problems with enforcing masks and distancing in classrooms, and a consistent lack of communication from both the GSU, SU, and college.
