Was the nursing hospital quarantined in the same group?
[기자]This is because the cumulative number of confirmed cases related to this nursing hospital has risen to 26.
In front of the hospital, I could see ambulances coming and going to transfer confirmed patients to nearby beds.
More than 120 people, including patients, workers and guardians, are in the same quarantine group in the two wards.
The first confirmed case at this hospital occurred on the 15th and a full investigation was carried out immediately.
On day 16 of this test, a total of 20 people were diagnosed with additional confirmations.
There are 11 patients and 9 nursing workers.
As the infection continued, Guro-gu increased the number of test subjects from 700 to 900.
Five more were confirmed yesterday afternoon.
This building, with 2 basements and 7 floors above ground, houses a hospital for the elderly, a home for the elderly and a health center.
The infection that has spread among patients has spread to nursing homes and appears to have spread to nursing homes connected to hospitals.
As a result of an epidemiological investigation, it was confirmed that the window could be opened, but ventilation was not performed frequently.
In addition, it was found that the restaurant on the first floor of the basement did not have a partition, and the distance between seats was also narrow.
In some areas of the hospital, the movement of staff and patients overlapped.
It was also revealed that some hospital workers did not wear the masks well.
Guro-gu said that of the 900 testers, 870 tested negative and 10 were waiting for the test results.
[앵커]Infections are tracked in nursing hospitals, even there, but is Seoul city running a full test?
[기자]In a briefing, the Seoul Metropolitan Government said: “Resolving to inspect all citizens.”
First, those who work in high-risk facilities with so-called 3 mils, that is, in tight, dense and sealed conditions, are the targets.
These include distribution and logistics businesses such as package delivery, call centers, sewing businesses, and foodservice workers.
It also includes nursing home workers and emergency care workers, who can be fatal if even one person is infected.
Religious facilities where collective infections are repeated and workers in public transport such as the subway and buses are also examined.
The reason the city of Seoul has taken such measures is because group infections occur everywhere in daily life.
At 0 o’clock today, 6 more people were confirmed at Gangseo-gu church, resulting in a cumulative number of 194.
At the construction site in Yongsan-gu, 12 more people were infected and the confirmed cumulative number increased to 88.
Regarding the restaurants in Jongno-gu, two more people were confirmed and the cumulative number of confirmed cases reached 300.
Four more people were infected at the Songpa-gu correctional facility, and a total of 27 were confirmed.
15 more people were confirmed at a religious facility in Anyang, Gyeonggi-do, and the cumulative number of confirmed patients is 16.
Even at a semiconductor company in Icheon, Gyeonggi-do, after the first confirmed cases came out on the 12th, the number of related confirmed cases was identified as 14.
The quarantine authorities have called for reducing the risk of infection through ventilation, as well as keeping distance indoors and wearing a mask, as well as ventilation.
