Hospital emergency rooms are for emergency services.

Suspected Coronavirus patients should not be presenting to hospital ERs for testing and care unless they are experiencing respiratory distress or other urgent symptoms.

Basic testing and diagnosis should be handled via local doctors. Please call first to discuss the Coronavirus protocol.

Don't go to the Hospital unless you need urgent emergency care for something. You will be charged urgent, emergency care prices.

And that is what the hospital should have told him and then sent him home. They should not have done the tests and charged him 3k for it.
