In accordance with the Government anti-epidemic requirements and restrictions, two additional infection control measures will be imposed on the community space, exhibition areas and multi-purpose rooms of the above mentioned venues. These measures include:
- Visitors are required to scan the venue QR code of “LeaveHomeSafe” displayed at the entrances, or to register their names, contact numbers and the time of the visit.
- All staff assigned to the operation of the venues will be required to undergo COVID-19 nucleic acid test every 14 days.
In addition, the meeting rooms and multi-purpose room at the Urban Renewal Resource Centre located in Tai Kok Tsui will reopen and public booking has resumed with immediate effect.
The implementation of infection control measures will continue at the URA’s facilities to reduce the risk of infection and the spread of the virus. These measures include limiting the number of visitors for each visiting session, providing alcohol hand sanitizer, and stepping up the cleansing of the facilities at the venues.
