In response to the pandemic, the Construction Industry Council (CIC) has closed the following public visiting centres until further notice.

1) CIC BIM Space
2) Construction Innovation Technology and Application Centre (CITAC)
3) MiC Resources Centre
4) all the exhibition areas of CIC-Zero Carbon Park

Services of the Hong Kong Construction Industry Trade Testing Centre and CIC Service Centres remain normal. Hong Kong Institute of Construction (HKIC) will switch to Non Face to Face Teaching with effect from 24 January 2022; Computer and BIM training courses will also be suspended. Certification tests, safety training, skills-based training and courses in training grounds remain normal. Please check the HKIC website for the latest arrangement of the courses.

With the aim of providing a safe workplace for all in the CIC, all staff (including full-time, part-time and staff of contractors) are required to be vaccinated before entering CIC premises for work-related purposes with effect from 15 February 2022. The CIC strongly urges industry stakeholders and friends to get vaccinated to protect yourself and your families.

All persons are required to use the “LeaveHomeSafe” Mobile App (the App) to scan the venue QR code, complete a health declaration form, be subject to a body temperature check and wear a face mask before they are allowed to enter CIC premises. Persons who are aged below 12 or aged 65 or above and those with disabilities that render use of the App difficult will be exempted from the above requirements. However, they will be required to complete a prescribed record form (as attached) to register their personal information and present relevant identification documents for verification by the CIC staff. Under the above arrangement, unwillingness to use the App will not be considered as justification for granting exemption.

Visitors who have a body temperature higher than 37 degrees Celsius, are not wearing masks, are subject to the HK Government compulsory quarantine or isolation order, reside in buildings with confirmed cases or have been to the countries/areas with outbreaks of COVID-19 in the past 14 days (Details are in accordance with the updated health quarantine announcements by Centre for Health Protection), are not allowed to enter the CIC premises.

The CIC will closely monitor the development of the severe situation and further tighten the measures as and when necessary. Sorry for any inconvenience caused. For any enquiries, please call 2100 9000.
