Announcements

Dear Colleagues and Students,

COVID-19 Vaccination/Regular Testing Report System 

As part of its ongoing response to the COVID-19 pandemic, last month the University announced that all staff and students will be required to provide evidence of vaccination or undertake fortnightly COVID-19 tests. 

Following our announcement, we have responded to staff feedback and we have engaged with students about our plans.

Today, the University has launched a COVID-19 Vaccination/Regular Testing Report System (VTR) (https://cloud.itsc.cuhk.edu.hk/webform/view.php?id=13638334). All staff and students are required to complete the online reporting by 18 October 2021. When you complete the online form and indicate that you are fully vaccinated, you will be exempt from fortnightly testing. If you are not fully vaccinated, you will have to submit test results every two weeks. If you are unable to be vaccinated for medical reasons, you will be required to upload a copy of a medical certificate to the VTR.  If you do not get vaccinated or undertake fortnightly testing or do not produce a medical certificate, you will be asked to attend a follow up meeting with your Unit Head/Head of Department.  

We would remind you to regularly check your email for important communications relating to your vaccination or testing status. 

We have additionally prepared a range of FAQs to assist with your questions about the University’s response. Please see https://www.cuhk.edu.hk/english/whats-on/focus/vaccination-faq.html for a detailed set of FAQs. 

For more information on COVID-19 and the vaccination programme across Hong Kong, please visit the HKSAR official website: https://www.covidvaccine.gov.hk/en/. 

The health and safety of the University community remains our highest priority. Thank you for doing your part to ensure a safe start to the new term and keeping our community free of COVID-19.

Yours sincerely, 

CUHK Emergency Response Group
