An HKU spokesperson responds to the media on measures concerning the Novel Coronavirus Infection:

"In light of the latest situation of the Novel Coronavirus Infection and to ensure that the health and safety of University members are accorded the highest priority, all outbound exchange programmes to the Mainland will be suspended until further notice. Staff and students who have been to the affected areas will be invited to fill in a health questionnaire and reminded of the necessary personal and environmental hygiene precautions and responses. We will continue to follow closely the latest guideline of the Centre for Health Protection for reporting and handling of suspected cases. Infection control measures including enhanced cleaning will continue to be implemented on campus and in University halls. All parties are reminded to stay highly vigilant. University members will continue to receive updated information through emails and a designated webpage launched by the University Health Service for the disease.”
