[사회]Emergency bed safety … “Serious bed exhausted in 10 days”

[앵커]

With the massive spread of Corona 19, the number of infected people increased every day and the beds in critical condition were almost full.

Quarantine authorities, with a fire on the instep, decided to secure additional beds, but a bed riot was coming.

Reporter Kim Ji-hwan reports.

As the number of confirmed cases per day exceeded 600, an emergency occurred in the medical system.

As the number of new patients increases, the number of patients with gastric and severe diseases generally increases after 1 to 2 weeks, because if this trend is the case, the beds are likely to be brought together soon.

Of the critically ill beds in the metropolitan area, only 27 beds can currently be hospitalized.

The hospital bed utilization rate in Seoul and Gyeonggi has already exceeded 90%.

There are only 3 in Busan, 2 in Gyeongbuk and Daegu, and Gyeongnam and Chungnam are already full.

We are more concerned than ever about the expansion trend, which is rarely moderate.

Quarantine authorities quickly decided to secure additional beds for critically ill patients.

First, we decided to install 30 more urgent care beds for critically ill patients at the National Medical Center.

In addition, consultations are under way with a hospital for the elderly to increase the number of beds for critically ill patients without additional medical staff.

In the case of hospitals that have beds but no medical staff, we plan to add staff quickly.

Life treatment centers that treat mild or asymptomatic patients also plan to house more than 1,000 people by adding 10 more locations across the country.

Experts note that quarantine authorities emphasized the possibility of a third pandemic for several months, and that they were putting their hands on securing a basic bed, and that they sparked a riot.

The government has announced that it will do everything possible to prevent interruptions in the treatment of critically ill patients.

However, due to the prolonged COVID-19 outbreak, there is still a depressing prospect that medical personnel are still lacking, and the joint response system in six areas, which is being boosted due to a shortage of hospital beds nationwide, does not it will be a drastic measure.
