“The health, safety and well-being of students, staff and our wider community is a priority at Royal Holloway and we understand that people may be concerned. NHS Test and Trace or the university will be in touch with anyone we believe may have been in close contact with the individual concerned.  We are continuing to monitor the situation closely and would urge the whole community to continue to follow the rules and guidance in relation to social distancing and hygiene measures.”
