On December 26, local time, St. Vincent's Hospital in Sydney, the capital of New South Wales, Australia, was exposed to a major "oolong" incident, mistaking hundreds of people's new crown pneumonia test results.
Anthony Dodds, head of the St. Vincent Pathology Testing Agency, said: "Last night we sent the wrong message to 400 people who received nucleic acid testing at our centre on December 22 and 23. They were told they tested negative, when in fact these people tested positive. ”
Upon discovery of the problem, the St. Vincent Pathology Testing Agency immediately contacted the affected person and set up an emergency response team to investigate the incident. The error is believed to have been caused by improper human handling.
In recent days, the number of new cases in New South Wales in a single day has continued to rise, and many confirmed cases have been infected with the mutated new coronavirus "Omi Kerong". The data shows that most of the critically ill patients admitted to hospitals in the state are not vaccinated.
