Wan Chai Post Office To Close

Wan Chai Delivery Office and the adjacent Wan Chai Post Office will be closed until August 15 for thorough cleaning and sterilisation after a postman working at the delivery office was confirmed to have COVID-19.

Hongkong Post made the announcement in response to media enquiries on the case and service arrangements for Wan Chai District.

The department said it is rendering its full support to the Centre for Health Protection for its investigation and tracing effort.

Ten department staff have been identified as close contacts. A total of 200 personnel from the delivery and post offices will undergo virus testing. While waiting for test results, staff members concerned will rest at home.

The department said it has activated its contingency arrangements and redeployed internal resources to maintain the current alternate day delivery service in the district to minimise the impact on the public.

But part of the delivery service during the period may still be subject to delay, it added.

Due to the temporary closure of Wan Chai Post Office, people can access postal services by using Hennessy Road Post Office, Gloucester Road Post Office or Morrison Hill Post Office.

Hongkong Post said it has been strictly implementing precautionary measures and reminded its staff to pay attention to personal hygiene and stay vigilant at all times.
