2 Non-Covid-19 Patients Mistakenly Sent to Makeshift Covid-19 Treatment Center at Asia Expo
The makeshift COVID19 treatment center at Hong Kong Asia Expo began operating on the afternoon of August 2, but it has immediately made mistake.
A non-Covid-19 woman with symptoms of upper respiratory tract infection was mistakenly identified as a confirmed patient and sent to the facility.
After the incident, the Department of Health on the next day again mistook another patient as a confirmed case. Dr. Chuang Shuk-kwan, head of the Communicable Diseases Branch, Center for Health Protection of the Department of Health, admitted that the staff had "missed the case". She apologized for the incident.
