[정치]Start of quarantine support, as special warriors … “People must be safe”

[앵커]

Military medical personnel and special forces officers were sent to the quarantine site in the metropolitan area where the Corona 19 infection exploded.

The Defense Ministry, which held an emergency meeting of top commanders from across the army, stressed that it is seeking additional support measures, such as supporting a dedicated hospital and working hard to block Corona 19 in the military.

Military executives working to support Corona 19 wear protective clothing instead of military uniforms.

These are the special war officers who were put in the quarantine site in the metropolitan area, where there is not enough manpower.

A total of 379 people were admitted to 78 public health centers in the metropolitan area, including 26 in Seoul and 44 in Gyeonggi.

In the field, we provide commercial support, such as entry of epidemiological investigation information, notification of epidemiological investigation subjects, and transfer of samples.

In the midst of this, the Defense Ministry held an emergency meeting of key commanders to explore ways to support the public.

In addition to special warfare officers, it is a policy that around 480 soldiers will be placed sequentially starting this week for administrative support at temporary inspection and review centers in the metropolitan area.

In addition, we have developed a plan to support more than 100 medical staff, including military specialists, in treating critically ill patients.

Considering that the hospital suffers from a shortage of beds due to the explosion of infected people, the Daejeon Armed Forces Hospital became a hospital dedicated to infectious diseases, and the Daegu Armed Forces Hospital with a size of 300 beds and the Goyang Armed Forces Hospital with more than 70 beds were under preparation.

In the midst of this, the spread in the military, which exploded with the group infection last month, has slowed considerably, with no confirmed cases for the first time in 20 days.

However, on the 11th, following an officer from the Hwacheon army in Gangwon-do province, the simulated combat training involving 2,000 people was postponed.

Defense Minister Seo-wook emphasized the implementation of high intensity infection control to maintain the mission posture of the central forces under all circumstances.
