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.

(Campus cleaning information provided since 13 March 2020)

Infection control measures at public areas will continue to be implemented by the University, including enhanced cleaning of common facilities, such as lifts and escalators.
