  • All students must wear masks and observe a two meters social distancing rule.

  • Movement (such as going to get tested) will happen in groups of a maximum size of ten, including a staff supervisor. Room partners must be in the same group.

The COVID-positive student:

  • The student will be in a strict quarantine. They may not leave their room or sleeping quarters. Their partner must vacate the room.

If more students test positive:

  • Positive students will have their hotel room bookings extended.

  • They will be joined by a negative testing staff member that will remain in the city and not continue the journey. If more than five students test positive, then a second negative staff member will have to join the group. If more than ten test positive, three staff negative members will be required to stay.
