The following is issued on behalf of the Hospital Authority:
The Hospital Authority (HA) spokesperson today (May 17) said that 14 general out-patient clinics (GOPCs) (see table below) will provide services during the Buddha's Birthday (May 19). Members of the public are reminded to make advance booking for appointments as usual either through the Telephone Appointment System or the "Book GOPC" function in the "HA Go" mobile application.
Given the unsteady COVID-19 epidemic situation locally, the HA spokesperson reminded the public to continue to stay vigilant during the holiday. They should reduce participating in mass gatherings and minimise meal gatherings; maintain personal and environmental hygiene; and comply with epidemic prevention measures such as wearing masks, practising hand hygiene frequently and maintaining social distance. Moreover, eligible members of the public should also get vaccinated earlier.
To choose a suitable family doctor and related clinic service, members of the public are welcome to browse the Primary Care Directory of the Food and Health Bureau at www.pcdirectory.gov.hk. In addition, members of the public can obtain specimen collection packs for COVID-19 tests during the holiday or submit specimens at nine GOPCs (see table below) at the designated times. The public can also obtain specimen collection packs at 20 MTR stations. For details, please visit the website: www.coronavirus.gov.hk/eng/early-testing.html.
