City University Turns Student Dormitory into Quarantine Facility And Informed Residents Only by email
The Student Representative Office (#SRO) of the City University of Hong Kong (CityU) notified the residents of Lee Shau Kee Hall (Hall 6) on 16 August, 2020 that the dormitory will be transformed into a “contingency hub” handling potential cases of #COVID19 for a month after the renovation stsrting in Mid August.
Residents and hall tutors attached to the dormintory were all shocked by the email. They said that the University had ignored their opinions and proceed with an arbitrary decision.
To begin with, the location of the quarantine facility was controversial. According to sources, the original plan of the University was to assign one to two floors in each hall for quarantine purpose. Lee Shau Kee Hall (Hall 6) was chosen as a facility, as it is conveniently located, but it also implies unimaginable impact if the Wuhan pneumonia cases are not handled properly in this building.
In the email, the University simplified a quarantine facility into a “provisional” action plan and attempted to dilute the oppositional voice of the student residents.
Given that it takes a few days to set up quarantine facilities for peoole who had preliminary confirmed with COVID-19 or close contact of COVID-19 patient, the university's insistence of using Hall 6 could be a sugar coated wordplau.
The Univsrsity refused to provide the arrangement of quarantine facility in details. These questions include:
what quarantine measures in details are (e.g., can person undergoing quarantine use the common area?), what the arrangements are for those students initially planned to move in Hall 6 after mid of August. SOR has replied that they have offered affected residents of with one-off-flex-option on deferred checked in date or withdrawal of 2021/2022 with hall fee adjustment/ refund where applicable. SOR reaffirmed it is necessary to establish “Contingency Hub” in order to ensure the safety of lodgers. Regarding the quarantine measures in details, SOR hasn’t replied explicitly but stated the actual use and the operation of Contingency Hub reserves if any subject to Center of Protection (CIP) instructions. And SOR hasn’t given any feedback for other questions raised by us.
