SFC Press Release - Arrangement relating to SFC's public service
The Securities and Futures Commission ("SFC" or the "Commission") has reconfigured its staffing arrangements to limit coronavirus infection risks. These arrangements will, for the time being, involve some staff working from home or remotely. In such circumstances, it is possible that response times in some areas may be longer than usual. This may affect, for example, some licensing and product applications, and SFC's public complaints and enquiry service. The SFC endeavors to keep any interruptions or delays to a minimum.
The SFC also appreciates that some licensed corporations and applicants may experience operational difficulties during this period.
Licensed corporations and applicants, as well as market participants, are generally expected to make all reasonable efforts to maintain “business as usual” in relation to their regulatory obligations and all regulatory filing, reporting and other deadlines. If, however, any of them do encounter specific difficulties arising from the coronavirus situation, they are encouraged to communicate promptly with their usual contact points at the SFC.

證監會一如許多其他機構，已就職員的工作調配重新作出安排，以減低冠狀病毒感染風險。在這些安排下，部分職員暫時會在家中或以遙距方式工作。
證監會仍會盡力繼續如常提供其所有公共服務。然而， 證監會在處理某些範疇的工作的回應時間可能會較平常為長，例如部分牌照和產品的申請，以及公眾投訴及查詢服務可能會受到影響。 證監會將致力把因而造成的任何干擾或延誤減至最低。
證監會亦明白，部分持牌機構及申請人可能會在這段期間內面對運作上的困難。
在一般情況下，持牌機構、申請人及市場參與者應盡一切合理努力，確保在履行監管責任，提交所有監管資料，作出匯報和遵守其他期限方面，能維持“正常業務運作”。然而，若他們因冠狀病毒的情況而遇到特定困難，應立即通知他們在證監會的慣常聯絡人。
