[앵커]

Amid the largest confirmed cases in history, the number of elderly patients is increasing, mainly in nursing hospitals and infections from church groups.

In particular, in the case of the Bucheon Nursing Hospital, about 120 people tested positive in four days, but transfer to other medical facilities is also being delayed as hospital beds in the metropolitan area have been exhausted.

Are there other confirmed cases there?

The accumulated number of confirmed cases related to this nursing hospital was 117 at 0:00 yesterday.

45 more in one day.

According to the City of Bucheon, it has been confirmed that so far there have been no further confirmations in the ward related to Hyoplus Nursing Hospital.

Of the confirmed cases, 84 are patients who were hospitalized here.

As most of them are 70 years or older, there is concern about the expansion of seriously ill patients.

In particular, if a conviction is found in a situation where the same group quarantine measures have been taken, seriously ill patients are transferred to base hospitals.

Recently, due to the shortage of hospital beds in the metropolitan area, all of them have been delayed, currently 79 confirmed patients are housed.

Only five people who were determined to need additional treatment were once transferred to another facility.

Some hospitalized patients who tested negative are still at the center and are concerned about further infection.

Quarantine authorities believe that a group infection has occurred because all the beds are concentrated in one floor and ventilation is not carried out in winter.

Since the situation in most nursing hospitals is similar, group infections from nursing hospitals are spreading elsewhere.

In the first place, in relation to the Gimje nursing home, 60 people joined during the day yesterday after the first two confirmed patients left on the 14th.

First, in relation to the nursing hospital in Dong-gu, Busan, a total of 63 confirmed cases increased by 14, and in the case of the Ulsan nursing hospital, 47 were added as a result of follow-up, resulting in a confirmed cumulative number of 206.

All of these nursing hospitals tested negative last month as a result of government preventive tests, but it is estimated that they have been infected with additional infections since then.

Also, are group infections occurring in various places in the metropolitan area?

After the nursing hospital, it was the church that had the most confirmed cases.

As of 0:00 yesterday, there were 73 confirmed cases related to religious facilities, as well as cases of group infection in confined spaces such as workplaces and restaurants.

First, 168 cumulative confirmed cases came out after the first confirmed cases came out on the 6th at Gangseo-gu church.

Notably, in Dangjin, Chungcheongnam-do, it was confirmed to have expanded from a religious facility to a welfare facility, as well as a prayer center and other religious facility.

Yesterday 16 people were confirmed at religious facilities and welfare facilities in Dangjin, and another 45 people were confirmed at the prayer centers spread here.

The cumulative number of confirmed restaurant-related cases in Jongno-gu, Seoul, where the first confirmed cases occurred on 28 last month, reached 283 so far.

Furthermore, at the construction site in Yongsan-gu, the number of confirmed cases increased by 12 yesterday alone to 15, and the number of confirmed cases related to the Songpa-gu correctional facility accumulated to 23.

Most hospitals, religious facilities, and workplaces seem to reflect seasonal characteristics that are difficult to ventilate indoors.

The quarantine authorities called for reducing the risk of contagion through ventilation, as well as keeping distance between people inside, wearing a mask, and even if it is unavoidable.
