The number of confirmed cases has risen to 35. Has the cohort isolation also been expanded from one story to three stories?

[기자]

Yes, so far there are 35 confirmed cases related to Master Plus Hospital.

The first confirmed yesterday, 26 people tested positive, followed by 9 more yesterday.

As of today, there are no additional confirmed cases.

Among the confirmed cases, 16 hospitalized patients, 9 caregivers, 7 tutors and 3 nurses.

32 people were infected in the fifth floor room and 3 people were infected on the third floor.

The hospital stopped outpatient treatment on the first day of the outbreak and implemented a cohort quarantine in the fifth-floor ward where confirmed cases were concentrated, barring both patients and medical personnel from entering.

Yesterday, a confirmed person left the room on the third floor and spread to other floors.

Consequently, as of today, the quarantine authorities have implemented cohort quarantine measures for the third floor room and also for the fourth floor.

The room on the fourth floor has yet to be confirmed, but since medical staff and patients move frequently, it is interpreted as a preventive measure.

The route of infection has not yet been identified?

[기자]

As you said, the path of infection is still undulating.

So far, more than 560 people, including patients, guardians, caregivers, and medical staff at this hospital, have undergone the Corona 19 test.

Most hospitalized patients are elderly, do not have clear movement, and some have difficulty identifying the path of infection due to communication difficulties.

Epidemiological investigations are also being carried out on guardians, caregivers and nurses, but there are no visible paths or contacts as a means of infection.

In epidemiological investigations to date, some confirmed cases with symptoms have been identified since the 29th of last month.

Then, on the morning of the 5th, when 10 people with symptoms came out at once, the hospital informed the health authorities, and the next morning, 8 people were confirmed the next day.

Health officials have decided to retest 500 people who tested negative, as well as the visitor tests, so it is unlikely that there will be more confirmed cases in the future.

Uijeongbu City said 150 people who had voluntarily undergone diagnostic tests to date had negative tests.

Quarantine authorities have requested that if you visit Master Plus Hospital here from the 27th of last month to the 5th of last month, you will be tested at a public health center or screening clinic regardless of symptoms.
