Photo Essay – Mainland students’ Self-Quarantine Life at Dr. Ng Tor Tai International House


By Icy CHEN Bingyi


Before entering NTT, Camellia was under temperature monitoring.


At the beginning of this year, Novel Coronavirus Pneumonia broke out in Wuhan, China, which led to the introduction of self-quarantine policies in many places. Although Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU) has delayed the resumption of classroom teaching and announced that all courses will be delivered online, some mainland students have returned to the school after the Spring Festival. On February 5, HKBU announced Dr. Ng Tor Tai International House (NTT) as a quarantine area. All mainland students who have returned to Hong Kong from the mainland should self-quarantine for 14 days and are not allowed to enter the campus. Camellia Sun, 20, is one of the mainland students living in NTT for self-quarantine.


Not recommended to go out, Camellia solves the problem of eating through food delivery.


After leaving the elevator, Camellia used the alcohol hand sanitizer placed on each floor by NTT.


NTT distributes masks to the students every week beginning from Feb. 6th. There are 10 pieces of masks in every pack and this is the second pack of masks Camellia received.


In her room, there are also two boxes of food ordered from Taobao and delivered to NTT downstairs, mainly noodles, snacks, and instant food.


Camellia uses this self-quarantine period to lose weight and sometimes she only eats one corn a day.
