The Centre for Health Protection recently announced that the two returned to Hong Kong from the Mainland at the beginning of this month. Their deep throat saliva samples were sent to BGI for a positive gene test and "diagnosed", but they were tested after admission and tested negative for viruses and antibodies. The department investigated the problem in the laboratory of Jiehua University, which contaminated the samples, resulting in "false positives."

Ms. Huang, who returned to Hong Kong from Fujian earlier this month, was one of the people who was mistakenly identified as a confirmed case. She was "released" and returned home yesterday (24).

Ms. Huang revealed her experience of being "diagnosed" in an interview with "Hong Kong 01" today (25th). She recalled that she was admitted to the hospital on the eve of the end of the home quarantine period, causing her neighbors and boyfriends to be listed as close contacts and sent for quarantine. Eventually it was discovered that the test was wrong, but she had suffered mental torture for nearly a week and even thought about suicide.

Even though she finally went home yesterday, the neighbor who tested negative would continue to be trapped in the hotel, feeling guilty and sad, thinking that the government owed her an apology and should also compensate for this mistake.

I'm fine, you wronged me, you got a misdiagnosis, and you got all the floors to be quarantined, people just look at me?

I'm alone, so many people are involved.

Ms. Huang was diagnosed by misdetection

The sample was tested by BGI and sent to the hospital for re-examination of "double negative"

Two people returning to Hong Kong from the Mainland (#11701 and #11702) were diagnosed a few days ago. They were a 56-year-old woman who had received two doses of inactivated vaccines in Fujian in the Mainland, and a 46-year-old who returned to Hong Kong from Dongguan via "Easy Return to Hong Kong". woman.

The Center for Health Protection announced last Thursday (22nd) that the relevant samples, which are in charge of BGI, were reviewed by the Public Health Laboratory Service Division of the Department of Health. The result was "uncertain". The relevant person was sent to the hospital for another test and the result was negative. , The antibody test was also negative.

Boyfriend and neighbours of the subdivided house still have to go home under quarantine, no one is deeply impressed

One of them was the 56-year-old female resident of Fu Rong Building in Tsuen Wan after returning to Hong Kong from the Mainland, Fujian Province and was undergoing home quarantine, her unemployed boyfriend living with her, and more than a dozen resident of the sub-house, all must be sent to quarantine.

An innocent person was diagnosed. Ms. Huang, who was tagged with the case number 11701, finally returned home yesterday, but the sub-district where she lived was empty. All of them were sent to quarantine, which made her feel uncomfortable.

In an interview with "Hong Kong 01" today, she said that since seeing the mobile phone text message that tested positive, she was trapped in the hospital for many days, and the final result was still unknown. Her mood continued to fall, and she even felt a nervous breakdown. She was emotionally tortured. Without thinking, I even thought of suicide.

After returning to Hong Kong, staying in Hong Kong for quarantine inspection: Will the diagnosis be confirmed without going out?

Ms. Huang returned to Fujian to visit her relatives last year. Later, due to the severe epidemic in Hong Kong, her family members were worried that she would be infected after returning to Hong Kong, so she decided to stay and stay for 13 months.

She received two doses of inactivated vaccines on February 19 and March 19 this year. Seeing that the epidemic in Hong Kong has slowed down and chose to return to Hong Kong for a livelihood, she has stayed at home during the home quarantine period from April 6 and did not take a step. Unexpectedly, the second test on returning to Hong Kong turned positive after leaving home.

She received the SMS notification on the night of April 18, and only saw the result the next day. She was shocked. She was so scared that she trembles and shed tears in sadness. She thinks that there is no epidemic situation in the Mainland. Will the diagnosis be diagnosed if you go out?" The boyfriend who lives with him is also worried about whether he will be the source of the infection, and said that the government should not be so sloppy.

Emotional breakdown during hospitalization did not dare to notify family members in the Mainland

Ms. Huang, who is engaged in site muddy water contracting, originally planned to renew the expired construction worker registration certificate and return to work immediately after the completion of the quarantine on April 20, but was sent to North Lantau Hospital the day before She didn't feel any discomfort. After many days of virus and antibody tests, she was found to be negative. She stayed in the room alone and thought about it. She didn't dare to inform family members in the Mainland.

I feel tormented all day long under "Estimation under Estimation."

The nurse told her to play with her mobile phone and wait patiently. She bluntly said that she was going to be obsessed with the line, "I'm fine, you wronged me, you got a misdiagnosis, and you got all the floors to be quarantined, and people just look at me? I'm alone, so many people are tired. The doctor finally informed her yesterday that she could go home. She felt helpless and innocent. It turned out that the government would also misdiagnose. After returning home, she still couldn't calm down. She suffered from insomnia all night and her eyes burst into tears many times when she recounted.

Dissatisfied with the government's failure to apologize and guilt influencing neighbors' quarantine

Another thing that made Ms. Huang sad was that she went home but tested negative. About 10 neighbors and boyfriends still failed to go home. They have to be quarantined until next Monday (May 3). She called the Department of Health to ask for an explanation. The reasons for the quarantine are pushed one by one, and no one can answer them.

A misdiagnosis caused many people to be trapped in the hotel. She had to pay rent and couldn't work. She felt very guilty and hoped that the government would arrange for neighbors to return home as soon as possible.

She thinks that the government owes her an apology and should also compensate for this mistake.

Zhang Zhujun, director of the Department of Infectious Diseases of the Center for Health Protection, said at an epidemic press conference last Friday (23rd) that the two confirmed cases of people returning to Hong Kong from the Mainland earlier, and the samples were negative after admission.

Both samples were taken care of by BGI, and were sampled on April 17, without clear explanation of the cause of the error.

She said that the possibility of false positives would not be ruled out, and it should be handed over to experts for research.
