Newsletter 202303 – Health and Safety Measures on Campus

1. Update on campus measures against COVID-19

Following to the Government’s latest arrangements for COVID-19, the University has revised the pandemic precautions by relaxation of most of the measures previously required, e.g. body temperature scanning, vaccination records updating and mask-wearing are no longer required.

For health and safety concerns of campus community, regular disinfection/cleaning in campus have been arranged, and will be maintained for some time in future.

If you have any questions or need any assistance, please email to healthandsafety@hsu.edu.hk or contact COVID-19 Hotline at 3963-5700 (during office hours).

2. Disinfecting Antimicrobial Coating

As the University has resumed face-to-face teaching on campus in the academic year 2022/23, CDMO has carried out necessary disinfection measures to reduce the risk of epidemic outbreak and cross-infection inside the campus. Such measures will get the University prepared for and build resilience to any unforeseen pandemic in the future. To disinfect the space and the high-touch surfaces, CDMO has increased the cleaning frequency and hired service providers to manually spray disinfectant coating to the risky surfaces, and the last treatment was completed in December 2022.

3. AI Autonomous Robot

In addition, CDMO purchased one set of AI autonomous robot in October 2022 to further improve the environmental hygiene by purifying air and eliminating bacteria. The disinfection and cleaning robot allows the University to clean and disinfect the campus much more frequently and cost-effectively ensuring the disinfectant coatings on high-touch surfaces are frequently refilled to provide a safe environment for the users.
