  • Weekly COVID-19 Update – 26/11/21

Home » News » All News » Weekly COVID-19 Update – 26/11/21

26th November 2021

Dear students, parents and carers  

I last emailed you on Friday 19/11/2021 with all the current Covid information and updates.  This link will take you to the Covid-19 section of the college website where you will find all the information and resources you need from the College 

Please see below the current most important information.  

  1. Covid Testing – students
  2. Covid Vaccinations  – pop up vaccination centre
  3. Reporting COVID-19 Cases: Latest data

1. Covid Testing – students

Students are asked to conduct home testing on a Wednesday and Sunday evening after 6pm. Tutors will ensure that students have a constant supply of home testing kits. Test kits can also be collected by students from the ‘Student Space’ in The Street.

Please note students should share their home test results with NHS Test & Trace as soon as they have undertaken their home test.  Students must also share their results with the College via the Covid test results form, as soon as possible after a test so the College can monitor any localised ‘outbreaks’.  The College will be reviewing who completes this form, as well as the results, and keeping Public Health England informed of the numbers of students conducting home tests.   The SDC COVID results reporting form is now even quicker and easier for students to report their results.  

We will continue to constantly review our approach, following the latest government guidance and will adapt what we do accordingly.  Please do whatever you can to keep everyone safe. 

2. Covid Vaccinations  – pop up vaccination centre

Working together with Torbay Council and the NHS, the College hosted a pop up Covid Vaccination Centre in Horizons, Vantage Point last week.  Over 90 vaccines were administered on the day providing patients with either their first or second dose as well as booster vaccines. Thank you to everyone who used this facility.

3. Reported COVID-19 Cases: Latest data 

The table below gives the most up-to-date picture of COVID-19 infections at South Devon College in all areas.    

  

Weekly cases:    (Total confirmed positive cases reported in the last week)  12
Total cases:   (A running total of positive/presumed positive cases reported to the College by students and staff since the first case was reported on Wednesday 7th October 2020)    349

Thank you for your continued positive support.

Kindest regards  

Laurence Frewin   
Principal and CEO   
South Devon College
