To prevent the spread of COVID-19, the Committee on Health Promotion and Protection strongly urges all staff and students to adopt the health advice of the Centre for Health Protection, Department of Health, specifically:
| • |
All people are required to wear a mask on campus in accordance with the Government regulations. |
| • |
Maintain at all times strict personal and environmental hygiene, which is key to personal protection against infection and prevention of the spread of the disease in the community. You should wear a surgical mask when having respiratory symptoms, taking public transport or staying in crowded places. You should wash your hands frequently, especially before touching the mouth, nose or eyes. |
| • |
Maintain an appropriate social distance with other people as far as possible in your daily lives. In particular, you should go out less and avoid social activities such as meal gatherings or other gatherings to reduce the chance of contacting infected persons, who may not present any symptoms, and minimize the risk of outbreak clusters emerging in the community. |
| • |
As for household environmental hygiene, members of the public are advised to maintain drainage pipes properly, and regularly pour water into drain outlets (U-traps); cover all floor drain outlets when they are not in use; after using the toilet, they should put the toilet lid down before flushing to avoid spreading the germs. |
| • |
Avoid all non-essential travel outside Hong Kong. |
| • |
For the home confinees and their household members, please follow the Centre for Health Protection's home quarantine guidelines. |
