PolyU sent six teams to enter the campus at 9:30am today. The teams comprised about 50 members include teachers, counsellors, healthcare professionals, social workers and security staff members. The hygiene conditions on campus this morning appear to have further deteriorated. The teams will search every floor of all buildings on campus for any remaining people. The University hopes to complete the search within today.
