2009 H1N1 case
On 15 June 2009 a female diplomat went to work inside the building after returning from a trip to the Americas. That afternoon, she felt uncomfortable and thus went home. On 16 June she was examined in the National Taiwan University Hospital and the day after it was known that the examination was positive for the Pandemic H1N1/09 virus. The story only went public after a delay, for which the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was widely criticized as trying to keep the news hidden, endangering the health of other people inside the building and the general public.
