FACTS:

1. While they were confined at the SDH, their swabs were taken for RT-PCR test on October 6, 2020.
2. The test results arrived on October 12, 2020.
3. One of them tested POSITIVE, the rest are negative.
4. Those who tested negative have already recovered, so they were discharged from the hospital on October 13, 2020.

If we add the mandatory 14 days from Oct 6, the Q period would have ended by October 20, 2020.
