Update on Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) Preventive Measures (22 December 2020) (只有英文版)

HSE Committee would like to update colleagues and students on the following:

Tightening of Social Distancing Measures under Prevention and Control of Disease Ordinance

As the number of confirmed cases in the past two weeks has remained at the peak level of around 80 to 100 cases daily, and the seven-day average number of local cases with unknown sources of infection has maintained at a high level, without showing a clear sign of decline, the Government has decided to maintain the social distancing measures currently in place under the Prevention and Control of Disease Ordinance.  The measures will take effect from 24 December for a period of 14 days till 6 January 2021. The Government will review the various measures in place from time to time in accordance with the development of the epidemic situation, and make suitable adjustments taking into account all relevant factors.
