Special Measures for Cafe at S.H. Ho Academic Building (A) against COVID-19

Dear all,

The Government has introduced the Prevention and Control of Disease Regulation (“the Regulation”) (Cap. 599F) on 27 March 2020 to implement temporary measures to address the current situation of public health emergency, and some of the specific measures of the Regulation extend the restriction on the operation of catering business. For details of the Government’s announcement, please click: Prevention and Control of Disease (Requirement and Directions) (Business and Premises) Regulation gazetted

In view of the above, the University has adopted the following measures at the Cafe at S.H. Ho Academic Building (A) from the next business day (30 March 2020) and shall remain effective up to 11 April 2020:

1) all staff and students are encouraged to have their food/ beverage takeaway;
2) some of the tables and chairs at the Cafe are removed temporarily so that the number of customers at the Cafe would not exceed 50% of the normal seating capacity; and
3) tables settings are rearranged to allow more distance between each other.

Limiting the local infection and transmission requires the collective effort of everyone in the community, so please be reminded all customers shall follow the new measures as required by the Government, including but not be limited to:
1) ensure that no more than 4 persons be seated together at one table within the catering outlet; and
2) a person MUST wear a surgical mask at any time within the catering outlet, except when the person is consuming food or drink.

The University has implemented body temperature screening at all entrance checkpoints and hand sanitisers are provided at the Security Counters on campus.

Please be assured that the Catering Services Provider will continue to implement the precautionary measures and take all necessary actions to ensure the hygiene of the servicing staff and the seating areas at the Cafe.  We will continue to work with Campus Development and Management Office to monitor and assess the situation closely, make necessary arrangements as appropriate and release timely announcement. Thank you for your attention and cooperation.
