All eight publicly funded universities in Hong Kong have told students returning from holiday in Hubei province or any parts of mainland China they must self-quarantine for two weeks, amid the coronavirus outbreak.
Some have also designated dormitories or hotel rooms for quarantine purposes, in case mainland students do not have anywhere else to stay in the city.
