Following the Government's announcement regarding the latest disease prevention arrangements, the Correctional Services Department (CSD) said today (December 28) that, with effect from tomorrow (December 29), visitors entering correctional institutions will no longer be required to present their Vaccine Pass QR code. To reduce the risk of the spread of the virus into the institutions, visitors are still required to conduct a rapid antigen test by themselves with a negative result obtained on the day of the visit, and declare the test result in a health declaration form upon arrival at the correctional institutions.
The visit arrangements and relevant measures may be subject to changes according to the epidemic developments, and visitors should pay attention to the latest information published via the CSD website.
