The confirmed person has no bed and cannot leave the hospital.
Negative residents are also trapped in hospitals at risk of infection.
“The nursing hospital is in a limited situation … the authorities must step forward”
On the afternoon of the 22nd at the Evergreen Silver House in Buk-gu, Gwangju, where the COVID-19 outbreak occurred, medical personnel from the public health center are transporting the confirmed person to a hospital dedicated to infectious diseases. Yunhap news
“Cohort quarantine? I’m locked up and spending time without measures. What’s different from a camp?”
The guardians in charge of their families in nursing facilities and nursing hospitals, where the infection of the group of the new coronavirus infection (Corona 19) continues, are calling for countermeasures. The families of confirmed patients are waiting for a bed in the treatment hospital and hope to escape from the nursing hospital, and the families of patients who received a negative test are struggling with their feet without having to transport their families home to despite the possibility of additional infection.
According to quarantine authorities and local governments on the 28th, 240 people were diagnosed with Corona 19 at Yangjiyoyang Hospital in Nam-gu, Ulsan, 153 at Hyoplus Nursing Hospital in Bucheon-si, Gyeonggi-do, and 170 at the Smile Nursing Hospital in Guro-gu, Seoul. In addition, there were approximately 100 confirmed cumulative cases at Sunchang Nursing Hospital in Sunchang-gun, Jeollabuk-do, Canaan Nursing Hospital in Gimje-si, and True Love Nursing Hospital in Cheongju-si, Chungbuk.
Keep waiting for bed …
A cohort (same group) in which patients and medical staff are grouped in the same group and quarantined together Caregivers who have entrusted their families in nursing facilities and nursing hospitals where quarantine is applied are burned . Due to the nature of nursing homes and nursing homes, most patients are elderly or have underlying diseases, so the death rate when infected with Corona 19 is very high. However, there are not enough places (beds) to get the confirmed out of the nursing hospital, and the families of patients who have been confirmed are just waiting for the sickbed to develop.
A, in her 30s, was diagnosed with Corona 19 while her grandmother, in her 90s, was at Hyoplus Nursing Hospital. He said: “In an environment where the negative and the proton are not separated, even the grandmother tested positive on the fourth test, so the whole family was anxious.” It had to be done and the process was complicated, so it took 8 to 9 hours to move the hospital ”. Seong Sang-ho (58), who has an elderly father in his 80s hospitalized at the Jinsarang Nursing Home in Paju city, Gyeonggi province, where 39 confirmed people were confirmed, “The mother, who was confirmed to late on the 28th, he has to wait a long time to transfer to the hospital, and the father, who was confirmed first, is still a nursing home. He said: “My mother has been suffering from asthma for decades, so I am more worried “.
A dilemma that cannot be removed or left
On the 27th of a nursing home in Yangcheon-gu, Seoul, where 26 confirmed cases of corona19 occurred and entered a cohort (same group) in quarantine. Newsis
Relatives of the patient who received a negative test feel a dilemma as they walk on the thin layer of ice. Due to the possibility of incubation, they cannot be taken home, and the possibility of further infection is feared by continuing to remain in a facility or hospital. In some nursing facilities and nursing hospitals, it is difficult to expect separation of the layers between positive and negative interns, and in many cases it is limited to the separation of hospital rooms. Won Yong-nam, head of the Seoul branch of the Korea Quarantine Association, explained, “It is fine if the layers are separated and the medical personnel are good at disinfecting, but there are areas that are difficult to achieve with certainty in reality. “.
My aunt, 36, handed over the circumstances at the hospital on behalf of her mother, who works as a nursing teacher at a nursing hospital in the Chungbuk region. Mr. Lee said, “I tried to find out that the mother’s hospital was going to be in cohort quarantine, and both confirmed and unconfirmed were in a hospital,” he said.
Some guardians did not even receive prior contact from the nursing hospital, so they learned that the outbreak of a group infection was late through media reports. My aunt (49), who says that her father is in the Jinsarang nursing home in Paju, said: “I heard the story of a confirmed person in the Munsan nursing home on the 25th in an internet cafe, and I asked the Netizens who knew it’s a nursing home. ” My father was confirmed on the 24th, but he said, “I didn’t contact you until I asked.” Mr. Seong Sang-ho also called to inquire about the cohort quarantine fact, and then the nursing home informed me, and none of the guides my guardian “No” exclaimed.
The guardians agreed that the quarantine authorities had to take active measures, as the situation that the cohort of isolated nursing hospitals and nursing facilities could handle had already passed. A said: “Until the medical team got to the point of being confirmed for Corona 19, the authorities stood by, saying: ‘Do whatever you want at the hospital'” and “Before the situation worsens, we must prepare measures to fix the situation. ” Indicated.
