Infectious disease experts assure that successive nursing hospital disasters were foreseen 10 months ago.

If seriously ill elderly people are quarantined in the same group (cohort) with a confirmed crown19, the risk of serial infection is extremely high. To prevent this, a high degree of response to infectious diseases is required. It is common sense for anyone in the healthcare field to know that most medical personnel in nursing hospitals have little experience in treating infectious diseases. In this situation, if you close the hospital door without the support of professional manpower, the interior becomes Abi Gyu-hwan.

The tragedy that takes place at Misodeul Nursing Hospital in Guro-gu, Seoul and Hyoplus Nursing Hospital in Bucheon, Gyeonggi-do leads to loss of speech. After quarantining the hospital, the elderly became infected one after another and passed away. Medical staff should continue to treat patients even after confirmation. When the caregivers left, the nurses who had dealt with the illness were overworked. Even elderly patients who have not been infected with Corona 19 mourn with medical staff and do not eat rice to reduce toilet and urine, leading to cases of deterioration of the disease and death.

In February last year, we witnessed the same disaster at Daenam Hospital in Cheongdo, Gyeongbuk. The closed room dumped confirmed cases. Thereafter, experts insisted that hospital beds and specialists had to be secured in preparation for the winter pandemic. However, when the group infection broke out in the nursing hospital, nothing was done. Jeon Byung-yul, a professor of preventive medicine at Cha University of Medicine, who suffered from H1N1 influenza as director of the Center for Infectious Disease Response at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in 2009, said: He recommended that he start getting vaccinations, but what confidence is there in the world that authorities ignore even opinion to prepare for the winter pandemic? I wanted to do that because I had this. ”

In the end, after hundreds of people were infected and dozens of people died in a quarantined cohort nursing hospital, health authorities were in a rush to move to another hospital. Three emergency response teams were formed on the ground. Indifferent to fundamental countermeasures, focusing only on PR and gimmicks, they appear to be tumultuous. Just before this incident broke out, the Central Defense Response Headquarters reviewed the number and announced that those who died waiting in nursing hospitals would be excluded from the “dead in air” statistics.

Korea, which is struggling to get a vaccine, is at a higher risk of escaping the Corona 19 crisis than other countries. Even now, if there is a confirmed case in a nursing hospital, it is necessary to reassure patients and their families by preparing fundamental measures on which process to proceed. As the government’s response to the crisis in the nursing hospitals and the East Seoul Detention Center has lost confidence, it is necessary to utilize the capabilities of external infectious disease experts. The time is urgent as it is winter where there is great danger due to life sealed indoors.
