The number of confirmed cases of pneumonia in Wuhan in Hong Kong has increased to five. The Hospital Authority announced today (25th) that when a female patient was diagnosed with the disease in Tuen Mun Hospital, the female patient was placed in a non-vacuum unit in the hospital. Negative pressure ward stays for about 3 to 4 hours. Zhong Jianli, Director of Quality and Safety of the Hospital Authority, acknowledges that the incident may have an impact on staff or patients and apologizes. I saw at Tuen Mun Hospital in Hong Kong at 01 pm. At least seven people were sent to the isolation ward. At least three of them were from the trauma ward. I believe they had shared the room with the confirmed patient. Tuen Mun Hospital saw a reporter at 7:30 pm to talk about the arrangement-a patient was treated in the trauma room.
