Covid-19 pandemic
We value the health and safety of all authors, attendees, and organizers. For in-person traveling, please refer to the latest policies of the Hong Kong government:
Inbound Travel Policy : quarantine, testing arrangements, etc.
- Formal quarantine for international travelers is canceled, while only 3 days’ self-monitoring is needed now. See 0+3 Policy (https://www.coronavirus.gov.hk/pdf/concise_guide_inbound_ENG.pdf) for more details.
- Note that during 3 days’ self-monitoring, you are not allowed to enter high-risk premises such as eating in public restaurants. However, you can conduct daily essential activities of lower risks, such as taking public transport, going to work, entering supermarkets and markets, and participating in academic conferences.
- Let’s say if you arrive HK on Day 0, you need to (1) do a PCR nucleic acid test on Day 2, (2) login to the Medical Surveillance System to record RAT results and health status on Day 3, after which you enter public restaurants without any limitation.
- As there is no PCR test center on campus, you can find all the test centers in this file for your convenience. The nearby center around the campus is at Hang Hau Community Hall.
- For queries, please contact the general chair Wei Zhang.
