Staff should stay away from the campus, and are expected to work from home as far as practicable. The University will later decide on the need for further extending the office suspension, as well as the work arrangements for staff members, taking into account the developments of the issue and the environmental situations of the campus.   Press Contacts Ms Eunice Cheng Deputy Director of Communications and Public Affairs （852）2766-6377 eunice.ol.cheng@polyu.edu.hk For latest updates, please stay tuned at the PolyU's website.
