校園感染防控措施
Infection Control Measures on Campus
To help reduce the spread of virus, the University has implemented stringent infection preventive measures on campus. Please see below for details.
Temperature Control
Temperature checks are done in strategic indoor locations on campus. Two sets of IR imaging stations had been set up in the Main Library and the Learning Commons. The University has also allocated non-contact IR thermometers to departments so that each department could implement appropriate temperature screening arrangements in their offices and facilities.
Alcohol-based Handrub
Alcohol-based handrub is distributed weekly to each Faculty and is made available by departments for use by their staff and students.
Face Masks
Mask wearing on campus is strongly encouraged. In particular, all persons should wear a mask in classrooms, shared/common study spaces, meeting rooms, and any other venues where appropriate physical distancing cannot be maintained. It is recognized that mask wearing is not possible when eating or drinking and that in outdoor spaces, discretion may be used.
E-health Screening
All staff and students with travel history are required to complete an e-health screening form. Those with fever or respiratory symptoms are not allowed to return to the campus.
Campus Cleaning
From time to time, HKU members may spot University personnel in protective gear engaging in cleaning and disinfection of different areas in campus. This is an extra precautionary measure taken by the University where necessary, and the cases involved may not constitute to being “confirmed cases” under the CHP definition. Cleaning and disinfection took place at the following dates and locations.
