The situation in the Seoul East Detention Center, where the outbreak occurred, is getting worse. In the fourth close examination, 126 more confirmed cases were found and 5 more prisoners were confirmed who were transferred to North Gangwon Prison, and the number of related confirmed cases exceeded 900. Connect with reporters on the site. Reporter Eom Yun-ju! First, the outbreak of mass infection continues to spread in detention centers in the East. What is the current situation? The cumulative number of confirmed cases related to outbreaks in the eastern detention center here has risen to 923. Based on the results of the fourth full test confirmed yesterday, an additional 126 people were confirmed, and 5 additional prisoners who were transferred to Gangwon North Prison were also confirmed to be infected. Meanwhile, the Justice Ministry transferred unconfirmed prisoners to South Seoul Prisons and North Gangwon Prisons, and now only 1,000 prisoners remain in the Eastern Detention Center, which has a capacity of 2,000. However, there are cases of infection again among inmates who tested negative and were transferred to other correctional facilities. Quarantine authorities are closely monitoring the size of the eastern detention center outbreak, such as reviewing additional comprehensive evidence. A second confirmed prisoner death was also reported. One of the two confirmed in a Seoul detention center in Uiwang, Gyeonggi-do, died. It is reported that he suffered from high blood pressure, but after being confirmed on the 21st, he was receiving quarantine treatment in a detention center, and his condition worsened. The Ministry of Justice explained that he tried to evacuate to an external medical center, but died waiting in an ambulance after being notified that evacuation to a general hospital was difficult. As a result, the number of Corona 19 deaths in correctional facilities increased to two. The Ministry of Justice belatedly began to propose a countermeasure, as the case of mass infection in the prisons of the Eastern Detention Center in Seoul was rare. Over the next two weeks, we decided to raise the social distancing of all prisons to three stages and strengthen the diagnostic testing of inmates. Furthermore, general interviews with detainees will be suspended entirely, such as the replacement of interviews with smartphones, and interviews with lawyers will be suspended in principle, but only in cases where it is unavoidable. In the case of the eastern detention center, where the situation is more serious, we are considering additional transfers of prisoners to other institutions to resolve the overcrowded situation. Furthermore, the number of confirmed cases continues to rise, mainly in nursing homes and hospitals for the elderly vulnerable to infection. A new outbreak has occurred in a nursing home in Yangcheon-gu, Seoul. After two nursing home officials were confirmed on the 29th of last month, an additional 12 residents tested positive. As a result of the epidemiological investigation, it was found that employees tried to prevent quarantine by using protective equipment such as masks and gowns. At the welfare center for the elderly in Dongdaemun-gu, Seoul, 32 people have been infected so far, including 20 users, after a worker was confirmed for the first time on 27 last month. At Guro-gu Nursing Hospital, Seoul, where the same group was quarantined due to the outbreak of confirmed cases, three more were confirmed and the cumulative number of confirmed cases rose to 193. Currently, the quarantine authorities explained that of the 37 confirmed cases that remain in the hospital, 36 have been transferred to another hospital, and that the rest will be transferred immediately. Additionally, we plan to help the nursing staff manage the remaining unconfirmed patients. The problem is that they are having a hard time getting medical staff and carers. In the case of nursing homes and nursing homes, there are many people with disabilities, so the care staff is essential, but due to the perception that they are dangerous facilities, the support rate is very low, for what urgent action is needed.
