To: All students who are currently undertaking learning/research activities abroad
Pursuant to the email sent to you yesterday, we write to give further specific advice as follows.
HKUMed strongly urges all Hong Kong students to return to Hong Kong as soon as possible. For non-local students who are now abroad, you are urged to leave your current location and return home and stay put until further notice, except for those whose hometown is in Hubei Province.
All students returning to Hong Kong are required to observe the government’s compulsory quarantine requirement, available here.
For those who do not fall under the compulsory quarantine requirements, you are strongly encouraged to stay at home for 14 days, exercise social distancing and take all measures so as to reduce the risk as far as possible. You should also refrain from entering the University campus for 14 days following your return to Hong Kong. Should you have any symptoms, you should seek medical care as soon as possible.
For MBBS students undertaking EY programmes abroad, please update us on your decision once it has been made by completing the form here.
For RPg students who choose to return from overseas exchange/study leave, please communicate with your overseas collaborator and HKU supervisor about your travel plan and discuss with them about your alternative research plan in lieu of overseas exchange.
Stay safe and healthy.
