The cleaning exercise will continue throughout the weekend and will include classrooms and office spaces. The contractor mainly worked in the outdoor open spaces and the common areas. The areas visited are as follows: Canteen Building 1 open space on ground floor Building 2 open spaces level 3 to 7 Lifts in Building 2 Lobbies E & F Green space next to eco-pond Tennis Court Lift in Sports & Recreation Centre Our cleaning crew has sanitised all of the above areas. Every passenger and service lift on campus has been sanitised, although the contractor only used the service lifts. Likewise, we are sanitising all restrooms on campus. The canteen will also be closed tomorrow, Saturday, 24 July 2021, to facilitate another round of deep cleaning. Residents on campus can still order takeaways from the various F&B outlets or order delivery. We apologise for the inconvenience. Our priority is to keep the community safe. All close contacts with the contractor have been placed under quarantine for the next 14 days and will undergo periodic mandatory testing. To date, no other cases have been identified. Thank you, and stay safe.
