As group infections in nursing homes and nursing homes increased rapidly, it was revealed that 661 confirmed cases have occurred in 16 locations across the country since 15 last month. Because of this, on the 14th there were 13 corona19 deaths per day. It’s the highest number of deaths since the first outbreak of patients on January 20. The number of gastric and critically ill patients also increased by 20. The highest number since September 3 (28).
In nursing homes, elderly patients with low immunity due to underlying diseases are mixed. It is a closed, dense and hermetically sealed three-pack environment. Patients with dementia and trauma cannot express their intentions well, making it difficult to recognize the initial infection. Because of this, if the virus spreads, it is out of control and there is a high risk of serious deterioration.
When the Central Defense Response Headquarters analyzed the infection route of confirmed patients from the new crown19 aged 60 and over from October 1 to December 10, hospitals and nursing homes were the largest with 657 (28 ,5%). It is followed by the group of relatives and acquaintances (439 people, 19%). Regarding the estimated infection route of 549 deaths per corona (in the last 7 days), nursing hospitals have the highest number, with 90 (16.4%). It was followed by other medical institutions (14.6%), nursing homes (8.9%) and social welfare facilities such as day and night care centers (6.2%).
Group infection in nursing homes and nursing homes is out of control. In Gyeonggi-do, this month alone, it happened in 8 locations, including Bucheon Hyoplus Nursing Hospital and Suwon Hyosarang Nursing Home. There were 342 cases in total. A group infection was also reported in a family nursing home in Bupyeong, Incheon. There were 35 confirmed cumulative cases.
Kim Woo-joo, professor of infectious medicine at Korea Daeguro Hospital, said: “Since nursing hospitals and nursing homes have structural features that facilitate the spread of infections, the problem may increase if a single confirmed patient presents. . In this situation, if herd infections in nursing hospitals increase, the number of seriously ill patients increases, placing a considerable burden on the medical system.
Health authorities viewed nursing facilities as high-risk areas and began preliminary inspections of facilities in the metropolitan area every two weeks on October 19. The non-metropolitan area was inspected once a month. However, group infections followed immediately from the facility where the voice was heard.
Additionally, violations of quarantine regulations continue. There are cases where body temperature is not measured when outsiders enter or exit, or users do not wear masks when riding in the van. The patients gathered to eat and, at the event, they sat for a while and shared the food. Also, we had a conversation without a mask.
Kwon Joon-wook, head of Bang Dae-bon’s second headquarters, said: “There is a very high possibility that (the virus) will be introduced from the outside through most of the facility workers or managers.” said. “We will prepare additional measures for the nursing facilities.”
On the other hand, if residents or tourists from other regions of Jeju Island wish to enter Jeju Island, they will be allowed to enter the island only if they have undergone an on-site diagnostic test three days before entering. and they have a ‘negative’ determination. Jeju Governor Won Hee-ryong held a press conference on the 15th and said, “We will discuss with the government a plan for mandatory diagnostic tests for incoming visitors.”
