Flowchart for new hospital admission pathways. For all patients requiring hospital admissions, those with no fever or cough or contact and travel history to the epidemic region will go onto isolation wards for 2 weeks for observation. For those with suspected COVID-19 symptoms, they are referred to the temporarily set up site for COVID-19 screening, known as the ‘fever’ clinic run by community physicians, where COVID-19 virus nucleic acid tests are carried out, as well as temperature, blood test, and computed tomography scans of the lungs are taken. For those who have tested positive, transfers to COVID-19 wards in an infectious hospital will be requested immediately. After 2 weeks of observations, a negative test for COVID-19 is then required before admission to the non-infected general wards
