Alert: Nine CUHK staff and students confirmed with COVID-19 infection
Dear colleagues and students,
In view of Hong Kong’s recently soaring number of confirmed COVID-19 cases, the University yesterday announced its latest measures representing our collective efforts in combating infection and protecting our community at this critical time.
In order to keep everybody abreast of the current situation within campus, and make ample preparation for disease prevention, the University will create a dashboard on its website to provide regular updates on the number of University members preliminarily tested positive for, or confirmed with, COVID-19 infection. A weekly update will be sent every Wednesday to University members before the dashboard construction is finished.
We have been informed that 6 staff and 3 students have been confirmed with COVID-19 infection during the past seven days. The University has been closely communicating with, and following up with, the relevant staff and students regarding their situation. Disinfection has been arranged at campus facilities they have visited recently. COVID-19 testing will be arranged for students and staff where necessary. Case details are given below:
