A range of modifications on campus have been implemented to limit the spread of COVID-19. These adaptations are continuously monitored, and they will be modified if necessary.
• Service counters separated with plexiglass barriers • Floor markings showing where to stand for physical distancing • Signage informing about capacity restrictions, displayed in print and digital formats throughout campus • Limitations on group sizes will vary according to activities and settings, for example through scheduling and planning of teaching activities • Designated seating for physical distance in classrooms, labs and lecture halls • Hand sanitiser dispensers in lecture rooms and all student areas • More frequent cleaning and disinfection of interiors, including toilets, door handles and handrails
