Professor Yuen Kwok-yung addresses seven common queries from the public about the self-isolation arrangement of HKU students returning from the Mainland.

The common queries are as follows:

1. Why does HKU arrange for students to undertake self-isolation?
2. What is the difference between self-isolation at home and being quarantined at designated Governmental quarantine centres?
3. Are there any “Suspected Case” among students on self-isolation?
4. Why arrange students to self-isolate at hotels?
5. Do students on temporary self-isolation at hotels cause health risks towards other hotel guests and staff?
6. Will the risk of community infection increase with students undertaking self-isolation at hotels? Do nearby residents need to avoid going out?
7. Has the University arranged for students self-isolating at halls to stay on the same floor? How is the risk of virus transmission lowered for other hall residents?
