The Home Affairs Department will open 18 temporary night heat shelters tonight (July 17) for people in need of the service. The shelters will be open from 10:30 p.m. until 8 a.m. tomorrow.
In light of the implementation of mandatory use of the "LeaveHomeSafe" mobile application when entering government premises, all persons are required to use the app to scan the venue QR code before they are allowed to enter temporary night heat shelters, except for exempted persons (including persons who are aged below 12 or aged 65 or above, persons with disabilities that render use of the app difficult and persons without smartphones). All exempted persons are required to complete a prescribed form to register their personal particulars, contact phone number and the date and time of entry.
