Covid update: changes to measures from Monday 9 May
In line with today's announcement from Welsh Government regarding changes to covid restrictions for educational settings, the College will now start to move towards a position where, whilst there is no requirement for most restrictions, they will still be encouraged.
At the current time, the numbers of positive covid cases are still relatively high, and therefore it will now be up to individuals to make their own judgement in terms of whether they will continue to follow the measures.
So what does this mean for the College?
From Monday 9 May:
Update on covid measures after Easter
We are continuing to work closely with the local Incident Management Team (IMT) and Public Health Wales to ensure we have the measures in place to keep our students learning and the College community safe. These currently include:
Hands - continue to wash and sanitise hands
Face - wear a face covering in communal areas (unless exempt)
Space - keep a physical distance from others

This means the following safety measures are all still in place:
Update from Principal, Mark Jones (21 January)
Currently there are many very different messages in the media about covid restrictions that can be very confusing – and so I thought that it may be useful to clarify the College’s position.
At this time, there are no proposals for any changes within the College or indeed within any education institution in Wales. Within Swansea, the risk of infection remains high and we all need to continue to remain vigilant.
