Staff and visitors were required to scan the “LeaveHomeSafe” QR code and produce their Vaccine Passes or Special Passes before being allowed to enter the EMSD Headquarters and its outstations.

In addition to stepping up our regular cleaning efforts, we arranged disinfection of the affected office areas and spraying of antimicrobial coating for the common areas and facilities in the EMSD Headquarters to provide a clean and safe working environment for colleagues.

In the fifth wave of the epidemic, the EMSD actively participated in anti-epidemic work by leading a team to deliver hot meals to residents of Kwai Chung Estate, and carrying out various “restriction-testing declaration” operations in the specified “restricted areas”. We assisted residents who were affected by the operations and walked hand in hand with the public, with a view to the early containment of the virus in the community.

During the year, a pilot scheme on the Smart Car Park System was launched in the EMSD Headquarters to facilitate drivers’ identification of vacant parking spaces and increase the utilisation rate through flexible integration of parking spaces and installation of car park sensors.
