There are many reactions that the president of the United States, Donald Trump, who was confirmed with the new coronavirus infection (Corona 19), is forced to discharge from the hospital before being cured, and that it is difficult to understand the behavior in Korea to openly remove the mask.
Trump comes out of surprise while hospitalized
Immediately after returning, remove the mask and say hello.
Sentenced of the highest prison sentence for Korean ships
CDC’s response to ‘quarantine prevention textbook’ also failed
President Trump’s actions are close to a ‘trip’ in terms of Korean quarantine standards. If a confirmed 74-year-old person, such as President Trump, violates quarantine measures in Korea and leaves the hospital, it is very likely a crime under current law. The domestic method of preventing infectious diseases imposes up to one year in prison or a fine of up to 10 million won if self-isolation or hospital treatment is violated.
President Trump was admitted to the hospital after being confirmed, but on the 4th (local time), he “ came out ” outside the hospital to greet his followers. I drove a car through the hospital and there were accusations of violating the usual quarantine measures. But President Trump’s sudden action was just the beginning. He was released early after three days of hospitalization the next day, and immediately after returning to the White House, he removed his mask and saluted.
In Korea, it is common for patients confirmed in high risk groups in their 70s to be hospitalized for 2 to 3 weeks even if the fever subsides and the condition improves. However, the opinion of national infectious disease experts that discharge is not a violation of the law because it is the discretion of the treating physician. Ban Bae-hwan, director of the Operations Center of the Central Hospital for Infectious Diseases, said: “In Korea, discharge after three days may seem unusual, but the doctor’s judgment is important.” However, President Trump’s actions are not common in the United States and criticism is high. In particular, controversy continues that the act of returning to the White House before healing and removing the mask could cause additional infections to employees.
National experts shake their heads at the reality that America’s top commander, considered the strongest country in quarantine, is infected with Corona 19. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) was like a book text for Korean health authorities. However, there are many experts who are disappointed to see Corona 19’s response. In a word, it is an assessment that the pride of the American quarantine is duly ruined. Kim Woo-joo, professor of infectious medicine at Korea University’s Guro Hospital, said: “Even if there are no legal restrictions, President Trump’s devious conduct also undermines the quarantine principles in the United States.” He said. President Trump laughed at China in the early days of Corona 19, but now, more than nine months later, the United States ranks first in the world in cumulative number of confirmed corona19 cases and deaths.
