In view of the worsening risk of the spread of COVID-19, The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) announces special work arrangements that will be implemented from Wednesday (2 December). Each department/unit will review and maintain essential and necessary services. Except for those staff providing essential and necessary services, staff members whose work permits offsite handling will work on shift or work from home. This temporary arrangement will last for two weeks until 15 December and the University will closely monitor and review the situation as appropriate. Staff members will be informed of the detailed arrangements for attendance, work from home or rotation by their respective department/unit heads.

Starting from 2 December, all canteens on CUHK campus can only accommodate two people per table.
