@UBICBrighton @uniofbrighton Congratulations! We are looking forward to welcoming you all in September

@GOVUK Can you confirm *when* they can stop isolating - the regulations indicate 14 days rather than 10, if they haven't taken a Day 8 test/received results by day 10- Track and Trace confirmed this - please clarify your position.

[Jodie Jones University of Brighton @JodieUniversity]

@GOVUK If an Amber list traveller does not receive their Day 8 test result (or indeed their test kit) by Day 10, when can they end quarantine - is it Day 14? if so, can this please be added to the relevant pages on Amber List rules

[Jodie Jones University of Brighton @JodieUniversity]

@AdamWagner1 sorry to bother you If Amber list traveller doesn't receive their Day 8 neg test result by Day 10 (or the actual test kit has not even arrived), is it correct that they can end quarantine on Day 14? (Schedule 8 para 2 https://t.co/rRPwjOha5j)

@Heather_Jones5 @maybulman @rmw Indeed, having said that, half of them have already had Covid, perhaps they weren't following the rules?

[Jodie Jones University of Brighton @JodieUniversity]

Today is so far mainly involving advising on the new Graduate Route as well as the EU Settlement Scheme and Covid related absences, interspersed with making snacks and the odd bit of fractions with my school-aged child. #EUSS #Graduateroute #Covid #homelearning #homeworking

[Jodie Jones University of Brighton @JodieUniversity]

@rmw @maybulman yes and those sheets hung up from the ceiling in front of each bay are obviously some sort of Covid secure protective barrier. Fool-proof. Plus the bathroom shared between 2 dozen men, also fine.

[Jodie Jones University of Brighton @JodieUniversity]

@maybulman @rmw Perhaps the cabinet should all dorm up in a room if it's so easy to 'follow the rules'

[Jodie Jones University of Brighton @JodieUniversity]

@rmw If you haven't already, the guardian report on Napier Barracks on Today in Focus podcast from last week is really worth a listen.

[Jodie Jones University of Brighton @JodieUniversity]

@JoWilding1 Ah yes I have a vague recollection of such a thing

[Jodie Jones University of Brighton @JodieUniversity]

@JoWilding1 Boo :-( well wherever you are I'll be fangirling you for your signature!

[Jodie Jones University of Brighton @JodieUniversity]

@rmw @ThousandFor1000 Shocking indeed especially when much of the legal advice, asylum application and appeals processes are being conducted online. Almost as if they don't want asylum seekers to have proper access to justice?

@JoWilding1 It had better come out when we are back on campus so I can hang around your office door like a fan girl and get my copy signed by the author!

This week in the world of International Student Advice, we are deciphering the new The Education (Student Fees, Awards and Support) (Amendment) Regulations 2021, advising on new quarantine rules, as well as the usual day job (immigration advice anyone?).
