There were 688 confirmed cases of the new coronavirus infection (Corona 19) across the country during one day on the 23rd (at 6:00 pm).
According to health authorities, as of 6 pm that day, confirmed cases were found in 16 cities and provinces, excluding Sejong among 17 metropolitan units.
The number of people decreased by more than 40 from 730, which was the same time as the previous day (22), but is expected to be around 1000, considering the number of confirmed cases added overnight.
By region, 230 people in Gyeonggi, 192 in Seoul, 49 in Incheon, 42 in Gyeongbuk, 36 in Chungbuk, 35 in Busan, 18 in Gangwon, 17 in Daegu, 16 in Gyeongnam and 15 in Chungnam.
Furthermore, there were 13 in Gwangju, 9 in Ulsan, 6 in Jeonbuk, 5 in Jeju, 3 in Daejeon, and 2 in Jeonnam.
The spread of ‘Bucheon Hyoplus Nursing Hospital’ in Gyeonggi-do is not serious, and confirmed cases keep popping up one after another in relation to ‘nursing facilities’ across the country.
Here, 142 people (41 employees, 101 patients) have tested positive since the Corona 19 outbreak on the 11th.
Also, the big problem here is that the number of deaths is increasing because beds are not allocated in a timely manner.
To date, a total of 22 people have died in the nursing hospital alone, with the majority of deaths known to be older people with underlying illnesses.
Families of confirmed patients in nursing hospitals are drawing action for online communities or cafe bulletin boards.
In response, Gyeonggi-do replied, “It is a difficult situation because the central accident control center (heavy copy) is in charge of allocating beds for seriously ill patients,” he said. “Even if the province asks for it, there is no progress, so there is no progress.”
The situation at the ‘Yangjiyoyang Hospital’ in Ulsan, where deaths continue to occur, is no different.
There are 22 cumulative deaths in the Ulsan area, of which only 20 from Yangji-Yoyang Hospital.
Three people died between the night before and the morning of the 23rd, and all turned out to be elderly patients.
In the Chungbuk region, additional confirmed cases occurred in cohort quarantined nursing homes. Only in the ‘Cheongju True Love Nursing Home’ there were 4 more people per day. To date, a total of 84 confirmed cases (55 residents, 23 employees, and families of 6 employees) have been counted.
This also started to occur in a rainy order after nursing home workers were classified as the first confirmed cases on the 17th.
In addition to the nursing facilities, group infections continue in churches and live cafes, prompting an emergency quarantine by health authorities.
In Gumi, North Gyeongsang Province, 42 people were confirmed a day, recording the highest number of confirmed cases in the non-capital area. Among them, 26 confirmed cases related to the ‘Longjeong Church’ were identified, which began to occur on the 20th.
Consequently, the Gumi City Health Center conducted a total inspection of 146 church members who received a church attendance list on the morning of that day.
