The ‘third pandemic’ of a new coronavirus infection in Korea (Corona 19) is in full swing, but the problem of lack of beds is not easily solved.
According to the Accident Recovery Headquarters on the 14th, there are only 48 treatment beds for seriously ill patients in the entire country that can be admitted to patients with severe corona 19 from the previous day.
This is only 8.9% of the 541 beds secured by quarantine authorities for the treatment of critically ill patients.
The situation in the metropolitan area, where more than 70% of confirmed cases are concentrated, is worse.
In the metropolitan area, there are only 8 intensive care beds available at the moment, including 5 in Seoul and 3 in Incheon.
In the Gyeonggi area, a bed remains for the confirmed patient to be hospitalized, but the situation was found to be not immediately available when considering the medical personnel and equipment necessary for the treatment of critically ill patients.
There is no room for hospital beds outside of the metropolitan area.
In Daejeon, Chungnam and Jeonbuk, there are no beds left in critical condition for immediate use. Chungbuk, Gyeongbuk, and Gyeongnam have already reached saturation because there was only one seriously ill bed the day before.
In this situation, the number of patients that worsens after being infected with Corona 19 is increasing day by day, and the quarantine authorities are tense.
According to the Central Defense Agency, the number of seriously ill patients at 0 o’clock in the day was 185, an increase of 6 from the previous day (179).
Per day, patients with severe gastric disorders as of this month were 97 → 101 → 117 → 116 → 121 → 125 → 126 → 134 → 149 → 172 → 169 → 179 → 179 → 185 As such, it shows an increasing pattern gradually.
Among these, the number of patients who waited to be hospitalized or admitted to a vital treatment center for more than two days after being confirmed for Corona 19 in the metropolitan area was counted as 218.
Of these, 194 are about to be admitted to the hospital and 24 are expected to enter the life treatment center.
By region, there were 145 in Gyeonggi, 59 in Seoul, and 14 in Incheon.
The government is concerned that the medical system could reach its limits if the current spread continues unabated.
Park Neung-hoo, the first deputy chief of the Security and Disaster Countermeasures Headquarters (Minister of Health and Welfare) said in a briefing the day before: doctor will have no choice but to face his limits. “
The government plans to prepare 287 beds for critically ill patients and 4,905 beds for life treatment centers for mild and asymptomatic patients in preparation for the situation in which 1,000 people occur every day in the metropolitan area. It is coming out.
