Use of LeaveHomeSafe App & Update on The Conditions of Entry to Club Premises (issued Thursday, 9 December)

Following the Government’s directions extending compulsory scanning of “LeaveHomeSafe” QR Code to all catering premises and scheduled premises with effect from 9 December, the conditions of entry to all Club premises, including Racecourses and Clubhouses, are updated as follows with immediate effect.

1. All Members and guests visiting all catering and non-catering venues at the racecourses or clubhouses (including any sports, retail, recreational or meeting facility) must scan the “LeaveHomeSafe” (“LHS”) QR Code for that particular outlet using the LHS mobile App. Persons aged 65 or above and aged 15 or below, persons with disability and other persons recognised by the Government or organisation(s) authorised by the Government may fill out the prescribed form (click here for the form) to provide the required particulars as an alternative to scanning of LHS, except for bars and pubs, party rooms, karaoke rooms and mahjong rooms where scanning of LHS is compulsory with no exemption. The latest and consolidated details of all the catering venues, timelines and applicable social distancing requirements under the different operating modes can be found <here>.

2. To safeguard and protect the health and safety of all Members, guests and staff, no person will be allowed to access any Club premises if he / she:-

  • has had within 14 days prior to the date of visit any of the common symptoms of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) – such as fever, malaise, dry cough, shortness of breath, nasal congestion, headache, conjunctivitis, sore throat, diarrhea, loss of taste or smell, skin rash or discolouration of fingers or toes.
  • has travelled outside Hong Kong and is currently subject to any quarantine order or self-monitoring requirement issued by the Government. Note 1
  • has been in close contact with any person who has travelled outside Hong Kong and is currently subject to a quarantine order issued by the Government, in particular family members, helpers or drivers.
  • has been in close contact with any person who is a confirmed or preliminary positive case of COVID-19 infection in Hong Kong or overseas within 14 days prior to the date of visit.
  • lives in a building in which there has been a confirmed or preliminary positive case of COVID-19 within 14 days prior to the date of visit as published by the Centre for Health Protection.
  • is required to undergo COVID-19 testing pursuant to a compulsory testing notice or direction (except for compulsory testing required after the end of compulsory quarantine or self-monitoring for persons returning from places outside Hong Kong) and has not been confirmed negative.


3. Members should have the contact details of all guests they invite to the Club and provide such details to the Club if required for the purpose of contact tracing.

All persons who enter any Club premises or use any Club facilities are deemed to have declared that they do not fall within any of the circumstances as stated in paragraph 2 above. Members shall notify their guests of such conditions of entry and be responsible for the actions of their guests. Members are reminded that any person who knowingly conceals facts or provides false or misleading information is in serious breach of Club rules and the Member concerned will be subject to disciplinary proceedings.

We thank Members for their support and cooperation in ensuring a safe environment for all.

Note 1: Exceptions

  • Fully vaccinated persons who have completed a compulsory quarantine period of 14 days or more may enter Club premises.
  • Fully vaccinated persons who have completed a compulsory quarantine period of less than 14 days may only enter Club premises on the 15th day from the date of return.
  • Fully vaccinated persons who have travelled outside Hong Kong and are only required to undergo self-monitoring upon return (e.g. via Return2HK Scheme) may enter Club premises during the self-monitoring period.

Note 2: “Close contact” generally means having direct physical contact, living in the same household, travelling in the same vehicle or flight, having social contact in close proximity such as dining together. The above examples are not exhaustive. If in doubt, we advise Members to err on the side of caution and refrain from using Club facilities.
