Bucheon Han Nursing Hospital in Cohort Quarantine“Doctors and nurses who have been diagnosed with Corona 19 continue to care for confirmed patients in the hospital. It is difficult for them to assign them to other hospital beds, so we do not know when the situation will improve.”
Bucheon city officials urgently responded to a journalist’s question about the internal situation at the Hyoplus Nursing Hospital in Bucheon, Gyeonggi province, where 34 people died in just two weeks.
According to the city of Bucheon on the 28th, it was on the 11th that the new coronavirus infection (Corona 19) occurred for the first time in this nursing hospital.
In the process of full inspection of dangerous facilities in the city of Bucheon, when six nursing care workers were confirmed to be corona 19 confirmed, a nursing hospital also received an emergency.
Quarantine authorities took a cohort (same group) quarantine measure on the same day to prevent the spread of infection in the Corona 19 area and quarantined 200 people, including 124 patients and 74 medical staff and staff.
Although this measure partially suppressed the spread of Corona 19 abroad, the number of confirmed patients skyrocketed inside the closed hospital.
The number of confirmed hospital patients has risen to 163 as of this day (Defense Countermeasures Headquarters) at this location, where the entire 8th floor of the 11-story building is used as a nursing hospital.

◇ 34 people died in 2 weeks … 27 died while waiting in bed
As the number of confirmed cases increases, so do deaths.
On the 14th a male patient in his 70s died while waiting for a bed in another hospital, until the 27th the number of deaths related to this nursing hospital reached 34 in just two weeks.
Of these, seven died while being transferred to another hospital for treatment, but the remaining 27 died while waiting in bed without leaving the hospital.
Although there are deaths almost every day, the situation is deteriorating because there is no place for seriously ill patients in the metropolitan area.
Bucheon Mayor Jang Deok-cheon also posted a post on Facebook on the 20th, saying, “We regret not being able to overcome the situation where we have no choice but to cohort with the confirmed patient.”

◇ 10 medical staff members were also confirmed … Daebon Bang, supporting the dispatch of medical staff
The problem is that there are no signs of improvement in the future.
To date, 33 patients remain, including 23 patients and 10 medical staff, all of whom are Corona 19 confirmed patients.
Ten members of the medical staff, including two doctors and eight nurses and nursing assistants, were also recently infected with Corona 19 after caring for patients.
Medical staff are caring for confirmed patients who are infected with Corona 19, but their specialty is known not to be in the infectious disease field and there are not enough corona 19 response facilities in nursing hospitals so they are you know they have difficulties in treatment.
The quarantine countermeasures headquarters began to support medical personnel on the 18th, and as of this day, 14 people, including 2 nurses and 12 nursing assistants, are helping, but it is still insufficient to attend to confirmed cases.
This nursing hospital does not have medical equipment that reduces the possibility of infection, such as negative pressure facilities, so the possibility of infection by the medical personnel sent cannot be excluded.
As soon as possible, confirmed patients in nursing hospitals should be transferred to a dedicated bed in another hospital, but when there are no free beds, the patients’ relatives complain of frustration and anger to the authorities.
A (32), a relative of this patient from the nursing hospital, said: “An elderly woman (90 years old) who was isolated in the hospital and confirmed confirmed was transferred to a hospital bed only the day before yesterday.” He said he couldn’t come up with a plan to do it, so he just wandered around the hospital.
A Bucheon city official said: “Doctors and other medical personnel within this nursing hospital (excluding medical personnel supporting medical treatments) are infected and are caring for confirmed patients relying solely on protective clothing. There is no news of the assignment, ”he said.
