"Hey, could you please send an ambulance to my neighborhood?" I called the 120 medical emergency hotline on the night of May 12, as soon as I tested positive for COVID-19. "Hold on, I will pass your request to your nearest urgent care station," the receptionist replied. "May I help you?" a nurse who took over my call asked. "I've got a fever of about 39 degrees Celsius, and my heart now beats 136 times a minute. I just tested positive for the novel coronavirus," I quickly reported. "Can you drive or call a taxi to take you to the hospital?" she asked, suggesting mine was not really an emergency case.
