Hong Kong's health officials have found themselves at the center of a coronavirus scare, after two infected men visited the Hospital Authority headquarters. Sources said today that a 45-year-old man has become the city's 58th coronavirus patient, and he is the colleague of a Tai Koo Shing resident whose infection was confirmed on Sunday. The two men were at the Hospital Authority headquarters on Argyle Street for a meeting a few days ago, and officials there said the areas the two had been in had since been cleaned and disinfected. The coronavirus patient is being treated in Queen Elizabeth Hospital. But a hospital gave him the all-clear three days later, and it took another visit to the doctor and a second hospital visit before his diagnosis was confirmed.
