General out-patient clinic services on New Year holiday
*******************************************************
The Hospital Authority (HA) spokesperson today (December 30) said that 13 general out-patient clinics (GOPCs) (see table below) will provide services during the New Year holiday (January 1, 2021). Members of the public are reminded to make advance bookings 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, the spokesperson also reminded members of the public to continue to stay vigilant during the holiday. They should avoid participating in mass gatherings and minimise group dining, maintain personal and environmental hygiene, and comply with the epidemic prevention measures such as wearing masks, practising hand hygiene frequently and maintaining social distance.
The latest Accident and Emergency Department waiting time information is available on the HA website and in "HA Connect" in the "HA Go" mobile application. To find a suitable family doctor and related clinic service of their choice, members of the public are welcome to browse the Primary Care Directory of the Food and Health Bureau at www.pcdirectory.gov.hk. In addition, members of the public can obtain specimen collection packs for COVID-19 testing during the holiday or submit specimens at eight GOPCs (see the table below for details). The public can also obtain specimen collection packs at 20 MTR stations. For details, please visit the website: www.coronavirus.gov.hk/eng/early-testing.html.
