Abstract

As coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) struck many countries worldwide in early 2020, the Taiwan government responded rapidly to minimize imported cases and community spread in Taiwan [1]. Many hospitals took proactive measures, including quarantine strategies at the entrances [2]. However, as shown by several reports, SARS-CoV-2 might be transmitted by asymptomatic carriers [3,4]; also symptomatic individuals may evade hospital entrance quarantine measures. On 19th February 2020 the Central Epidemic Command Center (CECC) reported a Taiwanese case who was admitted for pneumonia, with a diagnosis of COVID-19 made three weeks after her admission [5].
