Latest campus and health security arrangements for Sassoon Road Campus

To: all staff and students of HKUMed

On the latest measures for campus security and health security, we will provide periodic updates through emails. Please pay close attention to your email inboxes for the latest arrangements and information.

Campus Security

With the ongoing safety and security concerns across the entire university, students and staff must bring a valid UID at all times. You are required to cooperate when authorized personnel request that you show a UID when entering university premises.

Current security arrangements will remain in place until further notice.  We will keep you updated of campus security measures in accordance with university-wide policy.

Health Security

In light of the novel coronavirus that has emerged from Wuhan, all staff and students who travel for official purposes or for vacation to affected areas are required to declare to their unit supervisors the dates and location of travel upon their return to campus. If you are not feeling well, you must wear a surgical mask and seek medical advice immediately.

The Faculty will soon be installing temperature scanners as well as hand sanitizers at building entrances for William MW Mong Block, Lab Block and JCBIR. This is to maintain a safe learning and working environment.

The Faculty will be working with QMH on appropriate surgical masks for those involved in clinical work and training.  You will receive email notices from your Programme Director for further arrangements.

Given this is also the flu season, please take a sick leave if you are feeling unwell and exercise good hygiene at all times.  Each and every one of you play an essential role as a member of the Faculty and bear a collective responsibility for everyone’s well-being.

Students and staff can refer to the website of HKU Health Services and the Hong Kong Department of Health for the latest information and advice. 

Students who wish to make enquiries on teaching and learning matters or student support services may contact the following:

We will keep you posted on any further updates. 

Thank you,

Li Ka Shing Faculty of Medicine
