Detailed Information

  1. Students are required to complete a rapid antigen test every day in the morning before they arrive at school, they could only go to the school if the test result is a negative one. If the result is positive, they are not allowed to go to the school. Instead, they should stay at home, and parents should inform the school immediately and report it to the Health Department within 24 hours via “Declaration System for individuals tested positive for COVID-19 using Rapid Antigen Test” (https://www.chp.gov.hk/ratp/).
  2. Based-on the consideration of pandemic prevention reasons, students regardless of whether they are “recovered from COVID-19” must complete a rapid antigen test every day before going to school, and submit the records to the school according to the instructions in this school notice.
