     As the Red Rainstorm Warning Signal is now in force, classes of all schools are suspended this afternoon. Schools which are in session should continue until the end of school hours. They should ensure that conditions are safe before allowing students to return home.
 

     The Transport Department (TD) said today (June 7) that in view of the class resumption of Primary Four to Secondary Two students tomorrow (June 8), students are reminded to attend school early as traffic is expected to be busier than normal.
 
     The TD's Emergency Transport Co-ordination Centre will closely monitor the traffic situation and public transport services. It will also maintain close liaison with major public transport operators and relevant government departments and arrange public transport service enhancements when necessary.
 
     Students and members of the public are advised to pay attention to the latest transport and traffic news before leaving home and allow more travelling time. 
 

     Classes are gradually resuming after more than three months of suspension due to the COVID-19 pandemic. During the period, the Education Bureau provided support and resources to equip teachers with the relevant teaching strategies for e-learning.

     News.gov.hk spoke to teachers, students and parents about their experience of home learning during the class suspension and how it could serve as a reference for the future development of online teaching.

     The story appears on news.gov.hk (June 7) in text and video format.

Attention duty announcers, radio and TV stations: 

Please broadcast the following as soon as possible and repeat it at suitable intervals: 

     The Marine Department today (June 7) reminded masters, coxswains and persons-in-charge of vessels navigating in Hong Kong waters to proceed at a safe speed and exercise extreme caution because restricted visibility of less than 2 nautical miles has been reported. 

     Appropriate sound signals shall be made when underway or at anchor. All vessels must comply with the International Regulations for Preventing Collision at Sea. 

     Also, when radar is used without the benefit of adequate plotting facilities, the information obtained from the equipment is rather limited and should be construed accordingly. 

     Visibility reports are broadcast by the Vessel Traffic Centre (VTC) on VHF channels 02, 12, 14, 63 and 67. 

     In the event of an accident, a report shall be made immediately to the VTC at Tel: 2233 7801.
