Working from home today? We know it can be tempting to work from the comfort of your bed, especially on a Monday, but it’s important to keep your laptop on a hard, flat surface and never charge them on your bed https://t.co/nR4DstoBVA

Have you #GotItCovered?

Face coverings protect others from the spread of infection. Unless exempt, you must wear a face covering in most public indoor spaces.

Make sure to:
✅ fully cover your nose and mouth
❌ don't touch the front of it

Read the guidance 👇🏾

If you don't already have something that would cover your face, such as a scarf or mask, then you can make your own face covering to help stop the spread of coronavirus. Watch this short video to learn how to make a face covering: https://t.co/aChDm32ufi

Accessing our teaching labs after 16 weeks. Feels amazing! Kudos to our @KCL_HSS team and particularly the Physics Facilities Manager Bill @WGLuckhurst and HSO Natalie for their hard work all these months 👏

Coronavirus. Got symptoms? Get tested. Don’t wait, protect your friends and family.

HSE Safety Alert: Some face masks, claiming to be KN95 standard, provide inadequate protection and are likely to be poor quality products accompanied by fake or fraudulent paperwork https://t.co/IHmVoDYk74

*Please share*

The new 111 online #coronavirus service has advice on what to do if you think you have symptoms, or you think you may have been exposed to the virus when travelling.

Please do not go to a GP surgery, pharmacy or hospital.

#COVID19UK

[King's Health&Safety @KCL_HSS]

We started to receive anecdotal reports of people taking significant quantities of face masks from our lab areas. Obviously this is not sensible and adversely affects workers in those areas who need these masks to work safely.

[NHS @NHSuk]

Face masks play an important role in places like hospitals, but there is little evidence to show that they are beneficial in public settings.

[NHS @NHSuk]

Wash your hands more often for 20 seconds with soap and water. Or use hand sanitiser. Protect yourself and others.
