Today (5th), it was reported that a private hospital in Shatian had a woman who claimed to have been in Wuhan to seek medical treatment, and was instructed by the medical staff at the triage station to go to the nearest public hospital for treatment and asked to leave.
The woman was alleged to be a junior college student, and a junior college student who knew her said that she had gone to Shenzhen for an inspection and found no problems. The Health Protection Center of the Department of Health stated that no relevant notification had been received, but after learning of the case, she had immediately contacted the relevant hospital for follow-up and successfully contacted the patient to arrange for her to go to Prince of Wales Hospital for treatment.
Sources said that the only private hospital in Shatian, Ren'an Hospital, had refused to attend the consultation. The "Hong Kong 01" had inquired about Ren'an. Ren'an Hospital responded that there was indeed a female patient who claimed to have visited Wuhan in the morning of the 4th. During the triage, the nurse explained to the patient that she would need to be quarantined after the consultation, or she would be transferred to the public hospital. The patient then stated that she would come by herself Seek medical advice from the public court. The hospital emphasized that none of the patients refused to seek medical treatment during the process.
