Taipei, June 1 (CNA) A scheduled meeting between the father of a two-year-old boy who died from COVID-19 last month and New Taipei officials did not take place on Wednesday after the man declined to meet them as he demanded full call records and recordings rather than just an explanation.
Despite six days of treatment in an intensive care unit at Shuang Ho Hospital in New Taipei's Zhonghe District, the boy died on April 19, becoming the first child in Taiwan to die of COVID-19 complications since the pandemic began in 2020.
"After En En (恩恩, the boy's name) tested positive for the disease with a high fever, we repeatedly called Zhonghe District Public Health Center, but nobody answered. We called the New Taipei fire department, which asked us to get approval from the health center first, and we then dialed 119 (ambulance hotline) four times before an ambulance was dispatched," the father said in the Facebook post on Monday.
