“I am concerned that everyone in the hospital is infected.”
A citizen, who met in Buk-gu, Busan on the 18th, expressed concern about the news of a new coronavirus infection (Corona 19) at Haedrak Nursing Hospital in Mandeok-dong, where patients began to depart from on the 14th.
The city of Busan announced on the 18th that 14 people had been diagnosed with Corona 19 at Haetrak Nursing Hospital. Two employees and 12 hospitalized patients, all of whom were quarantined at the nursing hospital.
After the first confirmation by a 50-year-old nursing assistant on the 13th, 52 people on the 14th, 5 on the 16th and 1 on the 17th, so far only 73 people have been confirmed. Of these, 15 employees were employed and 58 were hospitalized. Considering the total number of hospital examinations of 264 (99 employees, 165 hospitalized patients), the confirmation rate reached 27.7%, which means that around 3 out of 10 were confirmed. The age range of confirmed patients is mostly elderly, including 8 in their 90s, 31 in their 80s, and 16 in their 70s, and there are many patients with dementia. In addition, only 4 men of the total confirmed cases, but 3 are hospital workers, so there is only 1 male patient and 69 women. The number of confirmed hospital workers is 1 in 70, 7 in 60, 6 in 50 and 1 in 40.
One of the confirmed cases was found to be a confirmed case after death and another died on the 15th day after being confirmed. They are all women in their 80s.
Since September, the hospital has killed 9 people. All but one of the deceased were known to have similar symptoms, such as pneumonia or respiratory system. The Busan city health authorities have identified seven of them with symptoms of fever and are currently examining medical records. The time of death is also concentrated from the 30th of last month to the last, and the results of the epidemiological investigation will be released sooner or later.
The city of Busan is very nervous, saying it is highly likely to lead to seriously ill patients due to the large number of underlying illnesses among confirmed patients, and the possibility of further confirmed cases continuing cannot be ruled out.
It is known that this nursing hospital operated rooms for 9 people for seriously ill patients and was mostly susceptible to infections as it was a room for 3 or 6 people. It is also worrying that patients who have been in contact with a caregiver working in a hospital room with a large number of deaths continue to be confirmed. However, the umpteenth infection caused by contact with hospitalized patients or staff is known to have not occurred, and it is a good thing. However, the health authorities determined that one of the confirmed patients (hospital workers) visited the space related to the sale of apartments and requested that about 200 people who were staying at the same time at that time be examined at the public health center .
As of the 15th, the city of Busan announced on the same day that the test results on 3,311 workers were all negative, along with a total survey of 11 nursing hospitals and 5 nursing homes in Buk-gu, including Mandeok-dong. , where the Haeterak Nursing Hospital is located.
