<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#0070C0">As you are aware from the email I sent on 30<sup>th</sup> November, working with the Scottish Government, the University has been offering Lateral Flow tests to students who
</span><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#0070C0;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">intend to leave their current household and travel within the UK over the Christmas break.
</span><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#0070C0">As you are also aware, two tests are required. If you would like to be tested, appointments are available

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#0070C0">We have noticed that demand for testing is declining, however we are aware that specific students, including PGRs, may wish to be tested after this week. At this stage we are
considering providing testing for a period of time on <b>Monday 14th and Thursday 17th</b> - Monday for the first test and Thursday for the second. To help us assess demand, can I please ask you to reply to

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#0070C0">I need to emphasise that for the Lateral Flow Test, two individual tests are required and can only be administered to PGR students who are
<strong><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">changing households within the UK
</span></strong>for/during the Winter break and who do not have Covid-19 symptoms. These tests are not suitable for international travel.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#0070C0">Once we have the numbers, we will finalise plans and will let everyone know when the test site will be open. Students will need to attend the site at the times it will be open
on these 2 days.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
