Haetrak Nursing Hospital in Mandeok-dong, Buk-gu, Busan, where 53 corona19 confirmed cases occurred from 13-14 at 1pm. The city of Busan has taken steps to isolate the hospital in the same group (cohort quarantine) to prevent staff and patients from leaving.
“What happened?” A resident passing by the ‘SunTrak Nursing Hospital’ in Mandeok-dong, Buk-gu, Busan, where 53 corona19 confirmed patients at 1pm on the 14th, asked with a shocked expression when a health official dressed in green He got out of the vehicle at 11 am The official told residents: “There are many confirmed cases in this neighborhood today, so we are going to do an emergency quarantine.” After hearing this, the resident said, “Oh. “It’s a big problem,” he urged. A little later, 5-6 quarantine vehicles loaded with disinfectants turned up. Quarantine staff sprayed disinfectants outside and inside the Haetrak Nursing Hospital. The door to the Haetrak Nursing Hospital, which consists of two three-story buildings, was tightly closed and only lights were visible in some rooms of the hospital. A large number of cover vehicles parked around the Haetrak Nursing Hospital and full of reporters. Haetrak Nursing Hospital was at the foot of Mount Soomisan on the left side of the Namhae Highway from the Mandeok Tunnel. In 2013, 38 rooms and 179 beds were obtained. Until the confirmed case, 165 people between the ages of 60 and 80 suffering from stroke, dementia and stroke were hospitalized, and 99 hospital workers were employed as doctors and staff. The first confirmed patient left on the 13th at Haetrak Medical Center. A nursing assistant in her 50s was confirmed, and when 278 people underwent full testing, corona virus 19 was detected in inspection of 52 patients, including 42 patients, 6 caregivers, 2 nurses, and 2 nursing assistants to the 1 pm on the 14th. Since the Ministry of Health and Welfare has banned visits from patients admitted to high-risk facilities such as nursing hospitals since March, there is little concern about infection in the patient’s family, but there is a high possibility of additional confirmed cases among those who have contacted 10 confirmed employees.

To prevent further infection, the City of Busan has taken steps to isolate the same group (cohort quarantine) to prevent 123 patients and employees of Haetrak Nursing Hospital, who tested negative, from leaving the hospital building. At 1 pm on the 14th, 42 confirmed patients and 10 employees will be hospitalized at Busan Medical Center. Among the confirmed cases, there were also deaths. On the 12th, when I examined the deceased patient’s exam, it came back positive. Nursing hospital patients have underlying illnesses and are older, so there is a potential for more deaths. In fact, 29 (22.6%) of the 128 confirmed cases that occurred from March 16 to April 22 at Daegu Hansarang Nursing Hospital died. Of the 99 confirmed cases that occurred from March 18 to April 15 at Daegu Daesil Nursing Hospital, 18 (18.1%) died. Nine (13.8%) of 65 confirmed cases that occurred between March 19 and April 14 at the Western Nursing Hospital in Gyeongsan-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do, died. Mandeok-dong residents were shocked again. This is because more than 50 confirmed cases occurred at the same time two days before the launch of the special quarantine zone for the first time in the country. Residents who gathered in Mandeok-dong said, “While waiting for the day to release the special quarantine zone, the residents endured the inconvenience, but again a group infection occurred and he collapsed.” In early Mandeok-dong, 18 Mandeok-dong residents were infected with Corona 19 from 1 last month to 1 this month. Accordingly, the city of Busan designated Mandeok-dong as the country’s first dong unit special quarantine zone from 0 o’clock on the 2nd to 12 o’clock on the 15th. Bakeries and restaurants ordered group restrictions to put a name and contact information along with the use of masks, and 18 small parks were closed. The city of Busan held an emergency meeting at the Buk-gu office on the morning of the 14th and decided to mobilize all administrative power to prevent the group infection from Haetrak Nursing Hospital from spreading to the entire community. For that day, it was decided to finalize the examination of the contacts of confirmed patients in the Haetrak nursing hospital and the workers of the hospital near Haedutrak. In addition, by the 15th, 168 nursing hospitals in Busan, 115 nursing homes for the elderly and 201 day and night care centers will be specially inspected. The examination of the workers of the nursing hospitals in Buk-gu will end on the 18th and, from the 19th, the examinations of the rest of the nursing hospitals outside of Buk-gu will take place. In addition, the order to restrict the assembly of bakeries and restaurants in Mandeok-dong, which was scheduled to rise at 12 pm on the 15th, was extended for another two weeks. The number of Mandeok-dong residents, confirmed at 1 pm from 1-14 last month, is 23, including a nursing assistant at Haetrak Nursing Hospital.
