     The Department of Health (DH) today (February 28) said two service units have to be closed for thorough cleaning and disinfection after staff members tested positive for the SARS-CoV-2 virus or tested positive through rapid antigen testing. Staff have contacted the affected clients to reschedule their service appointments. Details of the service units to be closed as follows:

     The above staff wore appropriate personal protective equipment while performing duties.

     ýÿThe DH's Centre for Health Protection has initiated an epidemiological investigation. In view of the epidemic situation, the DH's clinics and health centres have stepped up infection control measures, including temperature screening for all visitors before entry, conducting health declaration, limiting the number of accompanying carers and rescheduling the appointments of patients with higher transmission risk (e.g. persons subject to compulsory testing). Each service unit of the DH has been strictly implementing various disease prevention measures during the epidemic, including providing employees with masks and other protective equipment, and stepping up the cleaning and sanitising measures of the clinics and the health centres. All staff members are wearing masks at work and practising hand hygiene at all times. The DH is highly concerned about the COVID-19 situation and has reminded all staff again to maintain personal hygiene and be vigilant at all times. If feeling unwell, they should seek medical attention immediately.
