The government announced that it will expand the number of 177 hospital beds dedicated to patients with severe corona19 nationwide to 274 by the 15th.

In the medical field, it is noted that ‘the golden age of quarantine is already lost’ while the government hesitated to designate the third stage of social distancing. On the 11th, Korea’s largest medical association, the Medical Association, urged the government to immediately designate a hospital (cohort hospital) exclusively for Corona 19 to quickly secure beds for critically ill patients. This is due to concerns that the medical system may collapse with the current response, with the number of patients increasing rapidly day by day due to the third coronavirus pandemic.
“The possibility of the collapse of the medical system becoming a reality has increased. The government’s response to the Corona 19 vaccine, which many people expect, has not given any confidence to medical personnel and the public,” said Choi, president from the Medical Association, “Corona 19 Critical Care To do this, a dedicated Corona 19 hospital (cohort hospital) must be designated and operated from the metropolitan area, where the number of patients is increasing rapidly recently.” He added: “Frontline medical institutions should also expand and secure new negative pressure intensive isolation wards.”
