If there is no space, asymptomatic patients have no choice but to review the quarantine plan at home.
Reporter Kwon Nam-ki noted.
[기자]Currently, the most urgent thing is to find a room to treat seriously ill patients.
As of the 28th, 51 beds remained in severe quarantine across the country.
Only 15 remain in the metropolitan area where the number of confirmed cases is increasing rapidly.
While the scope extends to hospital beds dedicated to general infectious diseases, the surplus in the metropolitan area is just over 420.
There are more than 900 seats in 10 life treatment centers across the country that treat mild or asymptomatic patients.
A joint response team is in operation in the metropolitan area and plans to use corporate training centers are being promoted, but if hundreds of patients a day continue to come out as they do now, saturation is a matter of time.
Health officials believe that when a critical situation arises, home treatment will only be reviewed for mild, asymptomatic patients who do not require hospital treatment.

Lack of proper management to comply with quarantine guidelines can lead to community proliferation, and there is concern that a sudden deterioration in the patient’s condition may not be adequately managed.

However, it is noted that to review home treatment as a realistic alternative, a thorough management plan should be prepared to avoid further harm.
