Last update date: 2020-04-22 17:50The New Coronary Pneumonia epidemic continued. A 24-year-old male student of the HKU School of Medicine who took part in the graduation examination reported an initial diagnosis yesterday (21st), but the test result was negative after the second test.
Zhang Zhujun, director of the Department of Infectious Diseases, Center for Health Protection, Department of Health, said today (22) that the male student could not be classified as a suspected case. I believe that his situation may be a "false positive", and it may be earlier. Infected but without symptoms. She also mentioned that male students have no travel history and stayed at home most of the time. They had dinner with friends but had no contact with people with symptoms. They are currently in hospital at Queen Mary Hospital.
She reminded that there may be hidden communication chains in the community, and citizens need to maintain social distance.

Zhang Zhujun pointed out that the 24-year-old male student of the University of Hong Kong Medical College had a low fever when he arrived at the examination room yesterday (21st). He went to a private hospital for testing and initially confirmed that it was positive. Later, the same sample was sent to the government laboratory Determined as negative. The male student was then transferred to the Queen Mary Hospital for medical treatment and re-sampling test. The test result was negative.
Had reported no symptoms with friends
Zhang Zhujun pointed out that the male student is not a suspected case. I believe that the situation is "false positive", and there is a chance that he contracted the disease earlier but has no symptoms. She also pointed out that male students had no travel history during the incubation period, stayed at home most of the time, went to exams and had meals with friends, and had no contact with people with medical symptoms. Zhang Zhujun continued that this situation reflects that there is a hidden transmission chain in the community, so it is very important to maintain social distance. Mary Hospital will conduct a serum test for him to test antibodies.
