Tara Hong (Tara Hong, transliteration) and Joven Demonteverde (Joven Demonteverde) received the new crown test report on Christmas Day, and the two were very suspicious of the negative test results. The next day, they waited in the car for another seven hours before doing another new crown test.
On December 23, the couple drove to a drive-through testing clinic in Carlingford, northwestern Sydney, for the first test. Later, the results of the four rapid antigen tests (RAT) they did at home were all positive, confirming the two people’s high doubts about the previous test results.
Both the couple lost their sense of taste and smell. All signs “strongly show positive characteristics of the new crown.” Tara Hong immediately realized that he was a diabetic and might need special medical care.
“All the testing laboratories must have been in chaos at the time, but we finally did a second test,” she said.
“We have enough information here to really question the authenticity of the first negative result.”
They were tested for COVID-19 on December 23 and 24, but yesterday (December 27) they were told by SydPath (Sydney Pathology Testing Centre) that they were “prematurely” among the 995 people who were told of inaccurate COVID-19 negative results. One member.
The pathology department of St Vincent’s Hospital in Sydney issued a statement saying that by Monday night, all affected people will receive accurate test results.
After receiving a number of confusing text messages, the Chinese couple who lives in Baulkham Hills learned that their test results were positive for the new crown. They have isolated themselves.
The couple said they were infected after driving with a family member. That family member had attended a party with someone, but that person was still waiting for the results of the new crown test and should have been quarantined.
Although the two felt good at the beginning of the trip, at the end of the trip, the couple began to show symptoms of the new crown.
Upon returning to Sydney, the new crown testing clinics were closed, and the two could not be tested immediately.
Joven Dumaguete is an accountant and has been working from home. He said that it was disappointing that the results of the questioning were finally confirmed.
“In this way, at about 1:40 pm, I received a mobile phone text message saying, “Due to a recording error, your test results may be wrong.” Please isolate it immediately,” he said.
“Then, 10 or 25 minutes after receiving that text message, I received another follow-up text message saying that I was positive for the new crown.”
“I’m a little disappointed. Both of us believe that we are positive. We have carefully considered every point, including the results of the rapid antigen test and close contact with other people. It is impossible that we are not positive.”
Tara Hong feels helpless and puzzled that it took so long for the case testing agency to discover the error. SydPath discovered another mistake it had committed after investigating another incident where the results of the new crown were wrong. The agency has told 400 confirmed cases of positive new crown that the test result was negative.
Of all the family members currently infected with the new crown, Tara is in the worst condition. She said that she could have a good rest instead of having to keep busy to understand her true test results.
“I have diabetes, so my resistance is worse. This may be the reason why I am sicker than others. I have been given a booster shot, but the symptoms are still very serious, so I struggled with the new crown virus,” she said .
“SydPath wasted time when I could get help.”
The couple said that false negative results would inevitably lead to a further surge in the number of cases.
Not everyone will question the veracity of the results, and “now is the time for everyone to gather in the year.”
Although acknowledging that the new crown testing requirements for cross-state travel have caused a “major blockage” in the operation of the testing system, the couple said that the restrictions should not be lifted.
“If everyone wears a mask and can scan QR codes everywhere, people who really need to be tested for the new crown will be tested earlier instead of spreading the virus everywhere.” Tara Hong said.
NSW Health Minister Brad Hazzard (Brad Hazzard) yesterday (December 27) strongly criticized what he called “tourism testing”, and again accused Queensland of causing the COVID-19 test to be overcrowded. The main reasons for the delay in waiting time for test results and the fact that test clinics keep people out.
He said that the entry requirements for these people have shifted the focus of pathological testing in clinical treatment.
“The Governor of Queensland was really stubborn and didn’t realize the problems she had created. She delayed the implementation of rapid antigen testing, which is an alternative to nucleic acid testing.[2022年]January 1,” Hazzard said.
“[核酸检测的]The focus should only be on clinical testing, and now the energy and ability of pathological testing in NSW have been taken away[做了“旅游检测”]…. If the results of the non-nucleic acid test can be accepted on January 1, why not do it today? “
“In the next four days, we may have to test as many as 600,000 people for the new crown, of which a quarter of them are tested purely for travel to Queensland.”
