Third-year medical students from the University of St. Andrews, wearing full PPE, wait to receive fellow students’ swabs as they take lateral-flow COVID-19 tests in a mass testing centre set up in the University’s sports hall in St. Andrews, eastern Scotland on November 27, 2020, to determine if they are able to travel home for the Christmas break.
The centuries-old university on Scotland’s northeast coast has set up the centre as part of a rollout of Covid-19 tests for students across Scotland before the end of term. The UK government in London, which sets health policy for England, and the devolved administrations in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have unveiled plans to allow students to return home for Christmas.Students in England and Wales have been asked to return home during a week-long travel window after taking coronavirus tests.
Rebecca Clunie, a 22-year-old chemistry student, who swabbed her throat and the back of her nose to self-administer the test, said taking the test earlier meant she could self-isolate before going home — if that was necessary.
