Do I need to wear a face covering in my building?

It is now a mandatory requirement that everyone wears a face mask in the public areas of our properties, unless you can’t because of medical reasons.

Where you need to wear face masks:

• Reception areas
• Corridors
• Lifts
• Common rooms
• Study spaces

Where you don’t need to wear face masks:

• Your own room
• The shared kitchen and living space in your own flat
• Gyms, if they are open

Why someone might not be wearing a face mask

Some people might not be able to wear a face mask. Please be mindful and respectful in such circumstances. Here are some examples of why someone may not be wearing a face mask:

• Because of a physical or mental illness or impairment, or a disability
• Where putting on, wearing or removing a face covering will cause someone severe distress
• Where someone is speaking to or providing assistance to someone who relies on lip reading, clear sound or facial expressions to communicate

Thanks for your understanding and cooperation.
