Here are all the Covid rules at Morrell, Fairhurst and Burton libraries this term

Although a lot has changed throughout the pandemic, one thing has remained constant, the uni library.

But what are the rules for the library this term? As stated on the library’s visiting page: “Our main priority is making our services work for everyone whilst keeping everyone safe, and we’d really like your help with this.”

So here’s a rundown of all the Covid recommendations at the Morrell, Fairhurst, and Burton libraries this term.

Wear a face covering

Whilst since July 19th, there has no longer been a legal requirement to wear face coverings indoors, the library still strongly recommends you wear a face mask, particularly when moving around the building, to help keep others safe.

Maintain social distancing

Keep the windows open

In line with NHS regulations, the library requests that you keep the windows open in order to increase ventilation. Signs on windows read: “Help keep us open, by keeping me open.”

Use hand sanitiser

Hand sanitiser is still dotted around the library buildings and therefore you are still encouraged to sanitise your hands regularly.

Track and Trace

Scanning the Track and Trace QR code is no longer required upon entering the library but you can still do so if you wish.

Eating and drinking

Eating and drinking are now permitted in the library again but this is limited to hot and cold drinks in lidded containers and cold food only in Morrell, bottled water only in Burton, and hot and cold food and drinks in Fairhurst.
