More than 30 confirmed patients left Eumseong Somang Hospital in Chungbuk, where the same group was quarantined due to the COVID-19 outbreak.

Quarantine authorities believe that the use of toilets and bathrooms in the same room by patients and caregivers has been one of the main causes of the spread of the infection.

Eumseong Somang Hospital in Chungbuk province, which entered quarantine from the same group due to a coronavirus infection.

There have been dozens of additional corona-confirmed cases at this hospital19.

These are patients and caregivers who enter the same room as the previous confirmed case.

Somang Hospital, a treatment center for patients with mental illness and alcoholism, consists of 3 buildings and 11 wards.

In each room divided by floor, the patient and the caregiver share toilets and bathrooms.

As it is a living space where close contact is unavoidable, people who test negative may also be exposed to the virus.

As the confirmed cases continued, the quarantine authorities decided to empty the quarantine rooms of the same group.

More than 80 people who have already tested negative and have lived in the ward will be transferred to another hospital with an isolation ward.

Quarantine authorities plan to conduct intensive disinfection and quarantine after evacuating the hospital room.
