Even today, the number of elderly patients is increasing, mainly in nursing hospitals and church group infections. Sporadic infections have also occurred at the Yongsan construction site in Seoul and at the Paju military base. Connect with reporters who went to the field. Reporter Park Ki-wan! There were also confirmed cases there, but what is the current situation? Yes, there are 117 confirmed cumulative cases related to this nursing hospital. Fortunately, there were no more confirmed cases yesterday. However, given that the majority of the 84 hospitalized patients who have been confirmed to date are 70 years or older, there is concern about the expansion of seriously ill patients. I am also concerned about increased infection due to a shortage of beds. Typically, if a confirmed person leaves under the same group quarantine measures, the patient is transferred from a seriously ill patient to a base hospital. However, as all have been delayed due to a shortage of beds in the metropolitan area, currently 79 confirmed patients are staying here. 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. In addition, a similar case of group infection occurred in a nursing hospital in Goyang, Gyeonggi-do. Here, the first confirmed cases were announced on the 14th and, as a result of the contact investigation, another 29 people tested positive until yesterday. 17 hospital employees and caregivers and 13 hospitalized patients were confirmed. Quarantine authorities are testing more than 200 people, including patients and employees, after quarantining the same group. As several worker infections were first identified, it is very likely that it was introduced from outside and the exact route of infection is confirmed. Also, are group infections occurring in various places in the metropolitan area? If it is. Sporadic group infections continue not only in churches, but also at construction sites and military units throughout the metropolitan area. First, in Gangseo-gu church, after the first confirmed person left on the 6th, an additional 6 people were confirmed yesterday, resulting in a cumulative number of 179 people. Additionally, the number of confirmed cases related to the Pocheon Prayer Center has also increased to 39 with 5 additional people. As restaurant expansion in Jongno-gu, Seoul continued, nearly 290 confirmed cases were confirmed as of yesterday. In particular, a new case of group infection occurred at the construction site in Yongsan-gu. On the 12th, an additional 61 people were confirmed in four days after the first confirmed case came out. The building itself was infected by subcontractor employees working on internal facilities while it was being completed. Quarantine authorities report that they worked together while the interior was closed and meals were distributed together at local restaurants and nearby restaurants. In addition, there have been cases of group infections of 15 people until yesterday after the first confirmed cases came out on the 14th at the Paju military base. The quarantine authorities called for reducing the risk of infection through ventilation, as well as keeping distance from the interior, wearing a mask, and even if it is unavoidable.
