  • What measures are being taken to keep hostel residents safe?

We have increased cleaning and are providing government-issued advice for residents on how to keep themselves and others safe through practising good hygiene. We have introduced a visitor ban and where possible minimise contact between staff and residents to keep everyone safe.

  • I’m a resident, what happens if I become ill?

The latest government advice is that anyone with a persistent dry cough, high temperature or loss of taste or smell to arrange a COVID test and self-isolate for 7 days. If you have these symptoms or have come into contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19 call 020 8340 2345 and notify a member of staff.

We will then assess the situation and make arrangements for you to move to either a private pod room or a 4th floor room where you will be asked to self-isolate to avoid spreading the illness to other residents.
