Facilities for the elderly with dementia … ‘ventilation’ is not good
In addition, the Seoul Metropolitan Government inspected 112 people, including relatives and acquaintances, as well as users of the Ace Hope Care Center in Dongdaemun-gu, workers at the facilities. All 26 people involved in nursing homes tested negative in the preliminary examination, but three of them tested positive after the occurrence of confirmed cases.
The city of Seoul noted that these facilities are poorly ventilated in an epidemiological investigation. The majority of users of the facilities are elderly with dementia. They followed quarantine rules well before boarding the vehicle and before entering the facility, followed by hourly hand washing, but ventilation was found to be inadequate because only hallways and restrooms were ventilated. The Seoul Metropolitan Government said: “The inside of the facility is very dense and remains for a long time, so it is difficult to avoid infection due to user-to-user contact.”
The Seoul Metropolitan Government said: “We will continue to conduct preventive inspections in the future to quickly respond to Corona 19 by encountering silent radio waves.”
