A positive COVID-19 isolation experience
By Huang Jui-lin 黃瑞麟
On April 26, I arrived at the Novotel Taipei Taoyuan International Airport hotel to conduct an interview about the COVID-19 cluster infection involving China Airlines cargo pilots.
I was in the hotel’s main building for approximately two hours. When I became aware on April 29 that the entire hotel had been emptied out, I expected that I would receive a message from the Central Epidemic Command Center (CECC) instructing me to report for testing. By 6pm, when no such message had arrived, I called the “1922” COVID-19 hotline.
At 8am the following day, I received a call from the CECC and was asked about my whereabouts on and after April 26. I reported that I was feeling unwell and arrangements were made by the Taipei Department of Health to go to a hospital for testing.
