In response to the latest development of the novel coronavirus infection, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government announced on January 25 that the response level under the "Preparedness and Response Plan for Novel Infectious Disease of Public Health Significance" has been raised to the Emergency Response Level. As such, the Department of Health (DH) today (January 29) announced that non-urgent and evening services of dental clinics will be adjusted starting from today.

     The evening dental services of Wan Chai Dental Clinic, Yau Ma Tei Dental Clinic, Sheung Kwai Chung Government Dental Clinic and Pamela Youde Government Dental Clinic in Sha Tin will be suspended until further notice.

     Other dental clinics will remain open with limited consultation services. For enquiries, please contact the respective clinic.

     For those with appointments who may not be able to attend their scheduled consultation due to special situations, they can call the clinics to reschedule the appointments for later. There is no need for concern and rushing for consultation appointments.
