There have also been numerous cases that have been reported only after the patient has died. Even more worrisome is that Taiwan's leading medical institution-National Taiwan University Hospital-confirmed after a long period of rumors that there had been hospital transmission. About 250 medical personnel (10 % of the staff) were placed under quarantine, and the emergency room was closed for two weeks for intensive disinfection.
更糟的是，台灣醫界龍頭──台大醫院──在謠言紛傳多時後，終於確認已發生院內感染，二百五十位醫護人員緊急隔離，相當於全院十分之一人手，而急診室也自五月十三日起被迫關閉兩週進行大消毒。
