As a sporadic outbreak of novel coronavirus (Corona 19) infection continues through various groups such as nursing hospitals, rehabilitation hospitals, hypermarkets, and bars, confirmed cases continue.
The Central Defense Response Headquarters (Daebon Bang) announced that 31 additional infections were confirmed at the SRC Rehabilitation Hospital in Gwangju City, Gyeonggi-do, at 12:00 noon on the 17th.
This was confirmed by an investigation of 244 contacts after the first confirmed case occurred the day before. There were a total of 32 cases, of which 11 were hospital workers, 9 were hospitalized and 9 were tutors.
Currently, the quarantine authorities estimate that the route of contagion in this case is through the workers, and it is currently being verified whether to expand the test, and handle exposed and discharged people.
As there is a nursing hospital next to the SRC rehabilitation hospital, there is also concern about the emergence of additional confirmed cases.
At a briefing held at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Osong, Chungbuk, Deputy Chief Kwon Joon-wook said, “I will verify risks through site controls.” The building itself is used separately, but since it is connected at a very close distance, I will investigate and confirm it accurately. ”
Regarding the group infection case at E-Mart Sangbong branch in Jungnang-gu, Seoul, one more person was confirmed, so there are a total of eight confirmed cases.
Among them, 5 people are working in the mall and 3 people are their families.
In the case of Proverbs Medical Device in Songpa-gu, Seoul, eight additional confirmed cases were found. This resulted in a total of 16 confirmed cases.
In the case of ‘KMGM Hold’em Pub Incheon Mansu’, a casino bar in Namdong-gu, Incheon, two more people were infected. To date, a total of 15 cumulative cases have been confirmed.
The scale of collective infections linked to nursing hospitals is also increasing.
Regarding Busan Haetrak Nursing Hospital, one more person was confirmed and the total number of confirmed patients reached 59. Of them, 46 patients, 7 hospital workers and 6 caregivers.
The number of “unclear” patients who did not know when and where they were infected remained below 20%.
Of the 1.82 new confirmed cases that occurred in the last two weeks from 4 to today, 178 cases were investigating the route of infection, representing 16.5% of the total. This is a slight decrease compared to the previous day (16.8%).
Meanwhile, Bang Dae-bon announced that it will separate and adjust the severity level starting on the 18th to avoid confusion in the statistical terms of critically ill COVID-19 patients.
Among the existing criteria for the categorization of critically ill patients, the oxygen mask treatment group, which was included in severe, was excluded as severe and was classified into two stages of “ severe ” and “ severe ”. and it was decided to change to a single group of “ severe severe ” without any classification of stages.
Assistant CEO Kwon explained the reason for the change, saying, “After discussions with clinical experts focused on the Central Clinical Committee, we made adjustments to match the patient’s bed allocation and severity grading and grading.”
He said “oxygen mask therapists are excluded from the severe, but the average 6% of patients with gastric gravity in the past were treated with oxygen masks,” he said. It was made.
