As the number of crown confirmations increases19, 580 people in Seoul alone are waiting at home because there are no treatment beds even after being confirmed.

Previously, a confirmed case of a person in his 60s died because he was not assigned a bed for the fourth day, but the Seoul Metropolitan Government promised to take action, saying it took full responsibility for it.

Reporter Goo Su-bon about the report.

[리포트]

The number of new confirmed cases in Seoul is 398 and still exceeds 400.

This is the number that ranks third in history.

As such, the number of patients waiting at home increases rapidly because they are not assigned a bed.

There are 580 people in Seoul alone.

The Seoul Metropolitan Government explained that the actual number of people waiting for hospital beds is 227 because it generally takes about a day to be hospitalized after being confirmed.

However, on the 15th, a confirmed case of a person in his 60s died while waiting for a bed for four days.

The city of Seoul apologized for saying something unfortunate happened.

To avoid recurrence, additional staff will be sent to the integrated control room in the metropolitan area and the monitoring system for confirmed patients waiting at home will be verified.

At the same time, we devote all our efforts to expanding hospital beds and life treatment centers, and we urge citizens to keep a great distance and actively inspect them.

The Seoul Metropolitan Government said it would not hesitate to raise the distance to the third stage, especially if the worst situation arrives, and that it began preparations since last weekend and is in close consultation with the government on measures to support the self-employed and small business owners.
