A government spokesman said today (19th) that due to a preliminary diagnosis of COVID-19 by a staff member working at the temporary service centre of the Tin Ching Estate Consumption Voucher Scheme in Tin Shui Wai, the service centre will suspend its services today and will be reopened after thorough cleaning. Service resumed on Monday (21st).
The staff member is responsible for providing counter services. The counter is equipped with anti-droplet partitions to allow staff to maintain proper social distance from the public.
His last work date was yesterday. He did not have any symptoms during the period. His temperature check was normal. He always wore a mask and face shield at work and followed the epidemic prevention measures.
The Secretariat of the Coupon Scheme will contact those who have made an appointment to receive services at the Centre today to arrange for rescheduling.
Members of the public can apply for amendment of their stored value facility account information through a mailing form. Members of the public who use Octopus to receive consumer vouchers can also submit their applications through the Consumer Voucher Scheme website.
