The Committee strongly advises all stakeholders to pay attention on the followings:

Wearing Mask

All colleagues, students, contractors and visitors shall wear masks on campus, including indoor or outdoor areas, in offices and hostel blocks especially in common facilities and lifts.

All stakeholders should wear a mask over and cover the person’s nose and mouth, with the mask touching the person’s nose, chin and cheeks, in compliance with the Prevention and Control of Disease (Wearing of Mask) Regulation (Cap.599I). A mask should include any covering designed or made (a) to be worn over the nose and mouth (b) to provide the wearer protection against infections.

To protect our cleaners and other users, all stakeholders shall dispose masks properly.

Please do not participate any activities, including meal gathering, without wearing a mask.

As the supply of masks is stable in market now, colleagues and students are advised to purchase masks for their own use. The stock of the University will be reserved for emergency.
