Message from Vice-Chancellor and Provost on 16 Dec 2020 on 2021/22 Term 2 hostel arrangements due to COVID-19 pandemic
The risk of a cluster of infections emerging on campus is real. That risk would surely increase if a large number of students were to return to their hostel accommodation. Even with single room occupancy, the sharing of common facilities still poses considerable risk. For this reason, although we realize how disappointing this must be for many of our students, some of whom reside outside Hong Kong and are very much looking forward to returning to campus, we have to act responsibly and limit occupancy. We must also set aside rooms for emergency purposes in case there is an outbreak in one of the hostels and a thorough disinfection is needed.
Under the current unfavorable circumstances, other than those students who are already in their hostels, only a limited number of additional rooms will be available to students for the Spring Term. The Colleges are in the process of finalizing their plans and will be informing their students shortly. [For Lee Woo Sing College, all available places have been occupied - no further application will be considered.]
Special Arrangements under COVID-19 Pandemic (from Feb 2020 until further notice)
• Strict “no visitor policy” is implemented during Special Residence period;
• Students are allocated with single-occupancy double room during Special Residence as a preventive measures of COID-19 outbreak. We expect students to stay in their room for study and living with themselves only and not to have any forms of gathering in their bedrooms;
• While on campus, please avoid social and meal gathering – all common rooms are remain closed. Although some common areas such as pantries, TV lobby and 2/F Reading Corner are still open for students’ use, we encourage no large group social gathering and meal gathering there;
• We have increased frequency of cleaning and disinfecting on campus, however, you are always encourage to wash hand frequently, avoid touching eyes/nose/mouth with your hands. It is a requirement to wear a face mask on campus;
• If you are feeling unwell (especially with symptoms of fever, cough and vomiting), you must notify the any duty hostel personnel immediately and inform them travel histories. You should go to UHS clinic, in-town clinics or hospitals for medical treatment and then inform the College of the diagnosis results for College’s follow up and implement of emergency procedures (if any).
