When Flu Patients Increase Too … Corona 19 and Concurrent Outbreak Concerns
[앵커]
The number of new confirmed corona19 cases has exceeded 200 in recent days. Group infections are occurring one after another in all parts of the country, and as there is concern about a simultaneous flu outbreak, quarantine authorities and local governments have proposed countermeasures. Reporter Kim Ji-hwan reports. As the temperature dropped into early winter, the spread of Corona 19 became more severe again. It was three consecutive digits, especially for three consecutive days, 200 people. This is the result of group infections in various places of daily life, such as workplaces, cafes, metro stations, saunas, family gatherings, as well as medical institutions and nursing facilities. The problem is that at this time, influenza patients also begin to increase. A growing number of people are trying to get a flu shot even at a safety risk, amid fears that a so-called “ demic twin ” could emerge, in which Corona 19 and the flu are simultaneously an epidemic. Quarantine authorities have also taken action. We have prepared guidelines and a code of conduct for treating influenza patients while maintaining the Corona 19 response system. First, the hospital receives reservations in advance, if the patient has fever or respiratory symptoms, the medical staff decides the face-to-face treatment or the visit to a screening clinic, depending on the severity of the fever or respiratory symptoms of the patient. When carrying out face-to-face treatment, both medical staff and patients must comply with hygiene rules, such as the use of a mask, and for those suspected of having the flu, who have difficulties in hospital treatment, we decided to prescribe medications first. Seoul City, Gwangmyeong-si, Gyeonggi-do, Wonju-si, Gangwon-do and Goseong-gun, Gyeongnam have established respiratory clinics in local hospitals and health centers. The purpose is to quickly prevent local infections by treating only fever and respiratory illnesses in addition to general treatment. Quarantine authorities announced that they will also introduce a diagnostic kit that can simultaneously test Corona 19 and the flu, but wearing a mask and washing hands is the top priority, repeatedly demanding compliance with quarantine rules.
