Latest arrangements on Hongkong Post services
*********************************************
Post offices situated in Wong Tai Sin District, where the epidemic remains relatively severe, will continue to be suspended from service. This includes Choi Hung Chuen Post Office, Chuk Yuen Post Office, Fu Shan Post Office, Lok Fu Post Office, Ngau Chi Wan Post Office, Tsz Wan Shan Post Office and Wong Tai Sin Post Office. All other post offices will maintain their normal opening hours on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, but their closing hours will be advanced to 4pm. Mobile post offices will be suspended from service.
In addition, Hongkong Post will maintain mail delivery services (including that for Speedpost items) and mail collection from posting boxes on alternate days. However, door delivery services will be suspended for Wong Tai Sin District (including Wong Tai Sin, Lok Fu, Tin Ma, Tsz Wan Shan, Choi Hung, Choi Wan, Diamond Hill, San Po Kong, Ngau Chi Wan, Chuk Yuen and Hammer Hill), as well as those residential buildings with confirmed cases within the past 14 days. For mail addressed to these areas where door delivery is required, Hongkong Post will issue mail collection cards to the recipients notifying them of the collection arrangements.
Hongkong Post will continue to adopt various measures on social distancing and infection control at all post offices. Apart from body temperature checks for access to post offices and a requirement of wearing masks, anyone entering post office areas will also be required to apply hand sanitiser. Hongkong Post will also implement crowd control arrangements and introduce chip allotment measures, when necessary, to relieve the crowding of customers, so as to reduce social contacts and prevent crowds from gathering.
Due to the adjustment of business hours of post offices, members of the public requiring counter services may expect longer waiting times. As a result of the above special arrangements, services of local, inbound and outbound mail will be subject to delays. Hongkong Post apologises for the inconvenience caused.
Hongkong Post will keep abreast of the latest situation and make timely adjustments to the arrangements for counter and delivery services. For further enquiries, please call the Hongkong Post enquiry hotline at 2921 2222.
