It is a SRC rehabilitation hospital in Gwangju, Gyeonggi-do, where a group infection occurred.

Hospital caregivers tested positive for Corona 19 for the first time, followed by workers, hospitalized patients and guardians.

As the quarantine authorities are quarantining the two rooms in the same group and examining the contacts, the number of confirmed cases is expected to rise further.

This hospital is a large facility with about 500 patients, staff and caregivers, and a nursing hospital of the same name next door.

As such, the silent radio waves of the local community are connected and the places that cause a big bang as the end station are the nursing homes, nursing homes and rehabilitation hospitals.

Patients are older and often have underlying diseases and the risk is high.
