[#BackToSchool] Tips for Preventing COVID-19

The Education Bureau announced that schools will resume face-to-face lessons on a half-day basis in two phases starting from 23 September. You are going to return to the campus after months of online lessons as well as early commencement of the summer vacation. To fight this epidemic, together we must stay alert, maintain personal hygiene and wear masks at all times. When you meet your classmates and teachers, please bear in mind to maintain social-distancing to reduce the risk of the spread of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) in the community.

Tips for you and me to prevent COVID-19:

- Don’t go to school and seek medical advice promptly if you are unwell

- Avoid eating out or going out if it’s not necessary

- Keep at least one metre apart from others

- Avoid contact with people who show symptoms

- Maintain social-distancing

- Avoid taking off your face masks

Take preventive measures when commuting:

- Avoid rush hours and busy times

- Wear a face mask when taking a ride, if possible, open the windows to ventilate the vehicle

- Maintain social-distancing

- Clean your hands with liquid soap and water or alcohol-based handrub after using public transport or touching public facilities
