Last update date: 2020-07-20 11:45A new outbreak of pneumonia occurred in a community in Hong Kong, and many citizens have conducted virus tests due to concerns or work needs. Virus testing has been circulating online in the emergency department recently. Dean Xiao Yuezhong of the Hong Kong College of Emergency Medicine said today (20th) that it is not recommended that people with no symptoms and non-close contacts go to the emergency department for testing, which will increase the risk of infection.

New Coronary Pneumonia has broken out in many areas of Hong Kong. Many people took the initiative to seek medical consultation and requested testing. Some even taught people to line up to the emergency room for testing. Following the operation of the FB page "Dr. Ray's Life in A&E Department", Dr. Kuang Baoxian, a doctor in the A&E department of the United Hospital, publicly called on the social platform that "there is no free virus test in the A&E department". Xiao Yuezhong, Dean of the Hong Kong College of Emergency Medicine, also said at the Business Station "Departure on a Sunny Day" this morning that the number of consultations in the emergency department has increased in the past two weeks because of outbreaks in the community, and the public is worried about being in a high-risk area. I don't know where there is a test, so I went to the emergency room for consultation.
At present, the emergency department does not have the same day virus detection service, but a large number of people go to the emergency department to wait. Xiao Yuezhong admitted that the situation is not ideal, emphasizing that the A&E department is not designed for people without symptoms and non-close contact. People staying in the A&E department for a long time will increase the risk of infection. It is recommended that citizens who are to be tested should go to a government-approved institution. .
