The Hong Kong Infection Control Center (also known as the Temporary Hospital) of North Lantau Hospital yesterday (3rd) announced an alarm event of the negative pressure system in the isolation ward.

The negative pressure system alarm in the ward on the first floor of Building E of the center sounded at 8 pm the previous day (2nd). The center immediately arranged for engineering personnel to check and found that the negative pressure system display was malfunctioning and triggered the alarm.
