3+4 Home Quarantine Plan Is Unfeasible and Pointless: Huang 居隔縮短為3+4 黃珊珊:台北市不可行

However, Taipei City Deputy Mayor Vivian Huang says the new "3+4" plan is unfeasible. Meanwhile, Clara Chou is saying she only tested positive because of a hospital mixup.

Secondary and vocational schools in Taipei will be holding classes remotely for another week starting on the 25th. The central government has announced a new "3+4" home quarantine plan that Taipei City Deputy Mayor Vivian Huang says is pointless.  

Vivian Huang, Taipei City Deputy Mayor: “There are 4-5,000 people quarantining at home. If they quarantine at home for three days, I can't even tell you the actual number of people in quarantine. That's why this plan is unfeasible. Taipei and New Taipei want to try a "self-health management plus rapid screening" format instead.”

Taipei City Mayor Ko Wen-je says the central government needs to figure out the details before implementing the change.  Meanwhile, the Taipei City Department of Health was accused of giving Media personality Clara Chou special privileges by sending a Wanfang Hospital official to her home to give her a PCR test.  

Ko Wen-je, Taipei City Mayor: “(She's) directing her "special privilege" talk to the wrong place. You all should inquire with the Centers for Disease Control.”

Huang Shier-chieh, Taipei City Health Commissioner: “We couldn't get a disease prevention taxi at the time, so she asked him to go to her home. If Wanfang Hospital consents to it, it's fine.”

The department says Wanfang Hospital was not the one that made these arrangements. The hospital, meanwhile, released a statement saying this was a personal decision by an individual doctor but it will review the matter internally. Chou also said on Facebook that she was never infected and she only tested positive because New Taipei City Hospital contaminated her test sample.

Chang Bao-chy, New Taipei City Hospital Clinical Pathology Chief: “She tested positive on two separate tests performed on two different instruments. We also sent the sample to Kunyang Laboratory to retest. That result also came back positive.”

New Taipei City Hospital has shot down Chou's contamination claim. It also says Chou's test result was certified by Kunyang Laboratory on the 20th. However, her Ct value was very high, indicating she was at the tail-end of infection.

台北市國高中職今啟動擴大遠距教學演練一週，以同步線上課程為主。現在本土疫情延燒，行政院長拍板案將居家隔離縮短為3+4，3天居家隔離、第4天快篩陰性可出門。今上午台北市副市長黃珊珊與指揮中心開會，明確表達3+4對台北市沒有實質意義。

台北市副市長黃珊珊表示：「居家隔離4、5000例，那3天的話我連居隔都還沒有開給它，這個是我們現在認為不可行的事情。所以我們今天有具體的說，新北跟台北我們這邊會採取居家隔離的部分，我們可能希望能夠試辦一個所謂的自主健康管理加快篩。」

台北市長柯文哲也認為這個執行細節，還必須要跟中央再做討論。另外，資深媒體人周玉蔻在臉書表示，台北市衛生局安排萬芳醫院家醫科林英欽主任親自到家PCR採檢等「VIP服務」，讓外界質疑是名人耍特權，引發抗議。

台北市長柯文哲面對記者詢問，說道：「(特權)唉呦，那應該站錯地方了，你們應該去疾管署，怎麼跑來這裡？」

台北市衛生局長黃世傑表示：「那因為防疫計程車那時候也不容易調度，所以她直接找他，萬芳醫院也願意的話，也是可以的。」

北市衛生局強調萬芳醫院這次到宅採檢，並非主動安排。萬芳醫院則發新聞稿表示這個是醫師個人行為，院方將進行內部調查。特權爭議還沒釐清，周玉蔻又在臉書表示，自己根本沒確診，質疑是新北聯醫不小心把她的檢體汙染了。

新北聯醫臨床病理科部主任張寶琪表示：「經過兩個儀器的分析結果皆為陽性，同時我們也將該檢體，送到昆陽實驗室去做複驗，結果一樣是陽性。」

新北聯醫強調檢測機器是有昆陽實驗中心認證過，篩檢絕對沒問題。周玉蔻20日驗出PCR陽性，不過CT值很高，可能是陽性的尾巴，之後變陰性屬於合理範圍，駁斥檢體遭汙染的說法。
