The Electrical and Mechanical Services Department (EMSD) announced today (March 1) that its Registration and Permit Office in its Kowloon Bay headquarters will maintain normal services and implement crowd control measures in order to reduce the risk of the spread of COVID-19 in the community, which may lead to longer waiting time.

     The Office will be open between 9am to 5.15pm from Monday to Friday. Applicants should avoid submitting their applications in person. Instead, applications, with the cheque for payment, can be submitted by post (3 Kai Shing Street, Kowloon Bay) or through the drop-in box located at the G/F lobby of the EMSD headquarters during office hours. Submitted applications would be processed as soon as practicable and applicants would be notified of the results by phone or by post.

     In addition, various measures will be implemented to reduce social contact and prevent the risk of the spread of COVID-19. All members of the public will be required to wear a mask and have their body temperature checked when entering the EMSD HQs and other EMSD venues. People with abnormal body temperature will not be allowed access.

     For enquiries, please contact the EMSD at 2333 3762.
