A 17-year-old male student (#13088) who was studying at St. Joseph's English Secondary School in Kwun Tong earlier tested positive and lives in Block 3, Kaihui, Kwun Tong. Many of his family members were later sent to Penny's Bay Quarantine Centre, and some family members were suspected of being infected. Hospitalization for infection.
The victim's father, Mr. Mo, and his 9-month-old daughter were first sent to Queen Elizabeth Hospital in the quarantine center due to "inconclusive" test results. After that, the two tested negative twice in the hospital and had no antibodies. The department still lists the daughter as an "asymptomatic infection" case.
Today, Mr. Mo publicly denounced the Hong Kong government's chaotic policies. After several days of questioning, no one has explained to him why his daughter was still classified as a case of "asymptomatic infection" after multiple tests were negative.
The authorities even asked the father and daughter to stay in the quarantine center for another 14 days after the father and daughter were discharged from the hospital.
The Department of Health has replied to Mr. Mo until today, stating that the authorities will review the case again.
According to the latest arrangement of the authorities, Mr. Mo’s father and daughter can be discharged if their test results are negative today, but they need to return to their residence to continue home quarantine until February 1, and are not allowed to go out. However, it is still difficult for the family to reunite during the Lunar New Year.
Mr. Mok criticized, "The Department of Health does not admit mistakes and does not take responsibility. If it is the responsible department, if the patient has complained many times, there should be a follow-up reply, but there has been no reply until the end of the day. I believe it will not be taken seriously.”
Mr. Mok's son was diagnosed earlier, a 17-year-old male student (#13088) who is studying at St. Joseph's English Secondary School in Kwun Tong.
Afterwards, the family, including Mo Sheng and Mrs. Mo, their nine-month-old daughter and mother-in-law, were all classified as close contacts and were sent to the Penny's Bay Quarantine Center on January 19.
On January 21, Mo Sheng and his daughter were sent to Queen Elizabeth Hospital from the quarantine center because the test results were inconclusive.
The father and daughter were admitted to the hospital with negative tests and did not understand the reason why their daughter was listed as "asymptomatic infection"
Mr Mo said the two were tested at the hospital two more times and the results were negative.
However, after being notified by a friend, Mr. Mo learned that his daughter was listed as an "asymptomatic infection" case (#13144), but there was no notification from the department's personnel. In addition, he and his daughter tested negative, but they were not diagnosed. Confused about her daughter being listed as infected.
Two days later, Mr. Mo agreed with the hospital to draw blood for his daughter, and finally found that her daughter had no antibodies. He believed that her daughter had never been infected, so she wanted to overturn her daughter's "asymptomatic infection" diagnosis record.
However, the parents have made inquiries to the Department of Health for several days, but have not received a reply, but the doctor also explained that there are patients who have been infected and have no antibodies.
Nearly a week later, Mr. Mo finally received a reply from the Department of Health, stating that his daughter's "asymptomatic infection" diagnosis record would not be revised. Since he had shared a room with his daughter in the hospital, he had to return to the quarantine center for 14 days of isolation after discharge.
Mrs. Mok described that she was very disappointed when she learned the result. "The department insisted that it would not correct any records." In addition, her husband had to return to the quarantine center. Even if her daughter could be discharged from the hospital, she was worried that no one would take care of her.
Upon inquiries, the department only pointed out that the daughter can stay in the hospital until the mother completes the quarantine.

After much deliberation, the case was changed to "uncertain", and if it is negative today, it can be discharged from the hospital
Afterwards, the Mo family sought help from Deng Jiabiao, a member of the Legislative Council of the Federation of Trade Unions. Until today's press conference, the chief doctor of the Centre for Health Protection called the two people. The department will review the case again. Even if the blood sample is completely devoid of any antibodies, it must be discussed with an expert before making a decision.
The other party explained to Mr. Mok that the sample of her daughter at the quarantine center on that day was uncertain, and the sample was then sent to the laboratory for testing. After genetic sequencing, the sample was still positive, so it was classified as "asymptomatic infection".
Since Mr. Mo's sorting sample was not positive, the situation is different from that of his daughter.
The department also pointed out that if the test results of the two people today are negative, they can be discharged from the hospital, but they need to return to their residence to continue home quarantine until February 1, and cannot go out.
Mr. Mo and his wife were convinced that their daughter was never infected, and questioned the department's "moving the gantry".
Mrs. Mo pointed out that it cannot be ruled out that her daughter's sample at that time was a false positive, or that the sample was contaminated by the environment during the testing process.
Rebuked the Department of Health for "not admitting wrongdoing and not taking responsibility"
She also criticized that the DH's arrangement was chaotic. No one had ever notified her parents when her daughter was diagnosed earlier, and her inquiries over the past few days have been ignored. Complaints, a reply should be followed up, but there has been no reply until the end of the day, and the reply is in an official tone. Forced to separate the hospital and the quarantine center, "I have a daughter, obviously my daughter has not been diagnosed, I am very dissatisfied (arranged by the department), the anti-epidemic performance is not very good, and we have to pay the bill."
Later, Mr. Mo added that according to the latest test results today, the two were also negative, and the daughter also had no antibodies. The hospital has also approved them to be discharged.
