[사회]Complete inspection of hospitals and nursing facilities in the metropolitan area | YTN

[앵커]

With a large number of confirmed patients leaving the Hauterak Nursing Hospital in Busan, the quarantine authorities decided to preventively conduct a full inspection of nursing hospitals and nursing facility workers in the metropolitan area.

In addition, users of metropolitan area nurseries for the elderly and employees of psychiatric hospitals were also included in the subject of the total inspection.

While Busan is in an emergency due to a group infection in a nursing hospital, is a large-scale examination performed for the nursing hospitals in the metropolitan area?

[기자]

The area with the highest risk of corona infection19 in recent years is the metropolitan area.

Accordingly, the Security and Disaster Countermeasures Headquarters announced that it is preparing a full-scale inspection plan for nursing hospitals and nursing facilities in the metropolitan area.

In addition to this, we plan to preventively conduct comprehensive inspections for seniors in the metropolitan area, workers in psychiatric hospitals and users of day care facilities for seniors.

However, the transcript said that close scrutiny at the national level has limitations.

When hospitalized patients and nursing facility workers were tested, they tested negative yesterday, but could be positive after a few days, and it is difficult to identify the infected person unless the test is done daily.

Currently, new inpatients at nursing hospitals and nursing facilities across the country are required to undergo diagnostic testing, but workers are not.

Meanwhile, workers are restricted from entering if they have suspicious symptoms such as fever and take steps to rest at home.

The quarantine authorities also chose the prevention of fall leaves as a priority for the current corona 19 quarantine, but are there travel prevention measures in the fall?

[기자]

In the fall foliage season, the government decided to quarantine fall leaves when there were concerns about the spread of the infection, primarily in crowded tourist spots.

In the first place, a month was set, from this Saturday, the peak of autumn leaves, until the 15th of the following month, as a quarantine period of intensive management.

Targets include national parks, natural recreation forests, arboretums, and temples.

First of all, for tour buses, it is mandatory to manage the passenger list.

In particular, if you dance or sing on the bus, we plan strict penalties such as suspension from business.

In addition, it was decided to reduce the density by installing prohibition lines at the main visiting points.

Major recreational forests and arboretums have an advance reservation system and appropriate user sizes are adjusted.

Yesterday, the number of new confirmed cases slightly decreased and fell back to double digits, but still cannot be alleviated?

[기자]

Yesterday, the number of new confirmed cases per day was 84.

There were 18 fewer people than the day before, but the confirmed cumulative number was 24,889.

There were 53 internal outbreaks and 31 foreign entries.

When looking at the current situation by region in Korea, 46 people occurred in the metropolitan area alone, including 23 in Seoul, 15 in Gyeonggi, and 8 in Incheon.

The cases of influx abroad registered 30 people for two consecutive days.

Of the 31 foreign entries, 14 left the immigration quarantine stage.

Yesterday, 13 American soldiers in Korea who entered the country from the United States were confirmed in Pyeongtaek.

The death toll increased by 4 and the cumulative death toll was 438.

Even at 12 noon today, there are confirmed cases of small-scale gatherings, including 10 people related to the meeting in Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul, and 5 people related to the meeting in Dongducheon-si, Gyeonggi province.

It’s been three days since the government downgraded social distancing to the first stage, but if you’re vigilant, it’s an uncomfortable situation where a large-scale outbreak can spread at any time.
