> I can't imagine an asymptomatic person would put stress on the hospital system?

If s/he is in the hospital in quarantine you must give blankets and food, probably a nurse to check the temperature and symptoms two or three times per day, a medical doctor one a day just to be sure. Perhaps a blood analysis from time to time?

Luckily you don't have to handle visitors because they are in quarantine. (Or there are some visits? What if one patient tries to escape?) You must give an official reports for the family. Now you can assume the patient can send a WhatsApp message to the family saying s/he is fine, but you need probably still an official report. Paperwork, there is also paperwork.

How isolated are them from each other. If they are all together, you can transform the overcrowded false positives in real patients.

why would an asymptomatic person be in an hospital? Even people with minor symptoms are asked to self quarantine at home pretty much everywhere.

In China, asymptomatic with a positive test result still put you in their make-shift hospital facilities.
