coronavirus.Bateman Solms, who studies at St Andrews University in Scotland, said she was quarantining at her room at the student hall since she notified the school that she has Covid.And the first response she received from the staff was a kettle and two tea bags.Sharing her story on TikTok, many British viewers joked she was getting "top-tier level crisis management" support.The undergrad student says: "Hi I'm an American who goes to university in the UK and I currently have Covid."I live in halls at my university so my hall is kind of in charge of bringing me like food and supplies while I'm quarantining so that I don't have to use any of the shared facilities."I emailed them today that my test results were positive and the very first thing that happened, you have to imagine, that this is like the standard procedure.For more stories from the Daily Star, sign up to one of our newsletters here."Like the first thing they do is a kettle and tea was brought to my room so that I can make myself tea without using the shared kitchen."They were like, she has Covid – first order of business – girl needs to be able to make herself tea.

I love that."Many jumped to comment that this is "so British" as they asked if the staff had provided her biscuits and milk."As a Brit, I'm proud of that.

Any crisis can be solved with a brew. Get better soon!" one wrote and a second shared: "It doesn't get more British than this."Another added: "Well, having a cuppa is critical care here."A third chimed in: "Every crisis I have ever been a part of, step one is 'right, shall I put the kettle on?'".

Legal challenges of employer COVID-19 vaccine mandates largely tossed out, experts say
COVID-19: Saskatchewan business owners wonder how no proof of vaccine will affect business “The first decisions have clearly set the tone in favour of employers and their obligation to maintain a safe workplace,” said Adam Savaglio, an employment lawyer and partner with Scarfone Hawkins LLP in Hamilton, Ont.“We have a significant number of arbitration decisions in unionized environments that are showing that vaccine mandates and restrictions are being upheld.”A recent arbitration decision between Hydro One Inc. and the Power Workers’ Union dismissed the grievances of multiple workers placed on unpaid leave for failing to comply with the utility’s COVID-19 vaccination policy.The policy required unvaccinated workers — and those who declined to reveal their vaccination status– to take regular rapid tests.In his decision, chief arbitrator John Stout said the policy is reasonable and necessary to address the ongoing health and safety issues arising from the pandemic.“Prohibiting employees from attending work if they do not provide proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 (rapid antigen test) is fair and reasonable in the circumstances of this pandemic,” he said in his decision.“Hydro One is complying with their obligations under the Occupational Health & Safety Act to take reasonable precautions to protect the health and safety of their employees and the public that they serve.”The arbitrator also dismissed the union’s position that the workers should have been able to work from home.
