Dear FILM users,

I got the following clarification from our Health & Safety advisor regarding the new SARS-CoV-2 variant:

• If work cannot be carried out remotely, and is essential (i.e. can’t be reasonably postponed to after the lockdown) then it can continue on site as per existing COVID safety arrangements.

• Users and staff of the facility are strongly encouraged to regularly use the Asymptomatic COVID testing service to keep themselves and the rest of the ICL community at low risk of infection.

This means we can book new training sessions following our existing COVID arrangements. However, it might take some time to arrange these as we are currently down to only two members of staff.

Best wishes and Happy Imaging

Andreas
