Starting on April 15, virtually every day there were new cases of medical staff and patients at Hoping showing high fevers, and with the hospital failing to take timely measures to more strictly isolate affected persons, the virus spread quickly and could not be contained.
到了四月十五日後，和平醫院幾乎每天都有醫護人員或病患發燒，在院方沒有及時祭出更嚴密的隔離措施下，終至感染蔓延，一發不可收拾。
