Herein, we report our public emergency hospital‐based general ophthalmology clinic situations. There was no confirmed COVID‐19 case from our acute hospital during the investigative period. The background daily nonattendance rate 1 month before the incidence was 6.0% (14 out of 234)–10.3% (22 out of 213), which rose to 19.1% (38 out of 199)–22.0% (42 out of 191) after the first confirmed case of COVID‐19 in Hong Kong. The portion of the patient defaulting appointment further doubled to 42.1% (96 out of 228)–46.0% (109 out of 237) after the first COVID‐19 mortality case.
