There are countless confirmed cases in facilities vulnerable to infection, such as nursing homes. Connect with reporters on the site. Reporter Eom Yun-ju! At Seoul East Detention Center, will a full inspection be held again tomorrow? If it is. The Ministry of Justice announced that tomorrow it will carry out a fifth total inspection with the quarantine authorities to employees and prisoners who were negative in the fourth total inspection. In the fourth comprehensive review conducted previously, an additional 126 inmates were confirmed. Here, as confirmed, an additional 5 prisoners were also transferred to North Gangwon Prison. So far, the cumulative number of confirmed cases related to the Eastern Detention Center in Seoul stands at 944 across the country. Meanwhile, the Ministry of Justice has transferred unconfirmed prisoners to South Seoul Prisons and North Gangwon Prisons, leaving only 1,000 prisoners in the 2,000-capacity Eastern Detention Center. However, there are cases of infection again among inmates who tested negative and were transferred to other correctional facilities. 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 Justice Ministry was belatedly working on countermeasures. 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. Additionally, general interviews with detainees will be suspended entirely, such as replacing them with smartphones, and interviews with lawyers will be limited. 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. Yes, 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, another 14 people tested positive. As a result of the epidemiological investigation, the employees observed quarantine measures such as the use of masks and gowns. It was found that most of the residents, who were patients, were unable to avoid contact infection due to insufficient use of masks. At the social welfare center for the elderly in Dongdaemun-gu, Seoul, 35 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, five more were confirmed and the number of confirmed cases rose to 197. Quarantine authorities explained that of the 37 confirmed cases that remained in the hospital, 36 were transferred to another hospital and that the remainder was expected to act immediately. Additionally, we plan to help the nursing staff manage the remaining unconfirmed patients. However, it is a problem that medical staff and caregivers have difficulty securing. 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.
