But as a safety precaution, members of the public entering LD’s offices and clinics will have to undergo temperature checks and wear face masks at all times. Crowd control measures will also be implemented.

However, the public is still encouraged to continue making use of the department’s online services and information through its website: www.labour.gov.hk. Enquiries and requests for service should be sent through email at enquiry@labour.gov.hk as far as possible.
