     The service schedules of the two Coin Carts for the period between September 17 and October 25 have also been posted on the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) website (coincollection.hkma.gov.hk).

     In compiling future service schedules, the HKMA will arrange the Coin Carts to visit locations in the schedules cancelled during the period between July 15 and September 16, subject to approval by relevant authorities.

     To reduce the risk of transmission of COVID-19, the following precautionary measures will be taken:

1. Frequently touched areas of the coin carts, such as door knobs and handrails, will be disinfected regularly;
2. Hand sanitisers will be provided to users;
3. User's body temperature will be checked before entering the Coin Carts; only users with normal body temperature will be admitted into the Coin Carts;
4. Users must wear masks at any time inside the Coin Carts; and
5. Appropriate queuing arrangement to minimise group gathering will be implemented; users queuing outside the Coin Carts will have to maintain an appropriate distance from each other.
