The Hospital Authority (HA) announced today (June 29) that 14 general out-patient clinics (see appendix) will provide services on Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Establishment Day (July 1). Members of the public are reminded to make advance booking for appointments 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, members of the public are reminded to continue to stay vigilant during holiday. They should reduce participating in mass gatherings and minimise meal gatherings; maintain personal and environmental hygiene; comply with epidemic prevention measures such as wearing masks, practising hand hygiene frequently and maintaining social distance. Moreover, members of the public should also get COVID-19 vaccination 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. 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 appendix) within the specified time. The public can also obtain specimen collection packs at the selected MTR stations. For details, please visit the website.
