I. General Guidelines
Students should follow the instructions from teachers when entering the classroom.
Teachers and students should wear masks when entering the classroom and continue to do so while staying in the classroom.
Seats in the classroom are rearranged to maintain proper social distance between students.
Teachers should remind students to strictly follow the personal hygiene requirements:
Details are as below:
Do not stroll or chat without social distancing;
Do not litter. Used tissues/masks should be taken outside the classroom and properly disposed of.
II. Handling Unexpected Fever Case
If there is a fever case reported (body temperature ≥37.3℃), teachers should take the following measures:
Escort the student concerned to a place with good ventilation (outside the classroom), and use the infrared thermometer to check the student’s temperature;
Reassure the remaining students and ask them to stay in the classroom;
Immediately report to Medical and Health Education Office (MHEO, 3620120 or 139-2802-5919) and wait for the doctor to come on site to handle the case;
Upon arrival, the doctor should make sure that the student concerned has worn surgical mask, and double check the student’s temperature.
After medical consultation:
If the case is classified as non-COVID-19, the doctor should take the student concerned to MHEO for further treatment. Teaching activities will continue.
If the case is classified as COVID-19 suspected, the handling procedures should be as below:
The doctor should escort the student concerned (via the fire escape staircase) to an isolated area for further diagnosis;
The teacher should call Property Management Services (T1-8 & CCC: 3620557; T29: 3639156) to suspend the elevator and to disinfect the corridors;
The teacher should report to Academic Registry (AR, 3620303 / 132-3220-0013) and wait for the AR staff to come on site to assist (e.g. keep record of all the students involved);
The teacher and the remaining students should wear the surgical masks and stay inside the classroom for further instructions;
AR and the teacher should keep close communication with the doctor for any updates. If the student concerned has to take a nucleic acid test for COVID-19, all students/teachers/staff involved should wait in situ for further arrangements;
