Diagnostic testing has been completed for 560 people, including patients and visitors.

The route of infection is not yet clear.

The original source of the infection has not yet been determined.

Quarantine authorities are investigating whether quarantine regulations have been properly followed at the hospital and whether disinfection and ventilation have been performed frequently.

At Dana Hospital, Dobong-gu, Seoul, where the group infection continues, the cumulative number of patients increased to 50 as additional confirmations were followed.

There are many patients and elderly people, and the collective infections do not end in rehabilitation hospitals and psychiatric hospitals, which are considered vulnerable facilities.

Some point out that guidelines for quarantine management in hospitals should be further strengthened.
