Patient 31 was hospitalized for more than 10 days in a car accident before being confirmed. Patients in the same hospital are now quarantined. The health authorities also closed down both the church and the hotel where the 31st patient went.

Look at the report by Son Hyung-an and we will connect Daegu immediately.

It is a oriental medicine hospital in Suseong-gu, Daegu.

With full access to the hospital, staff wearing protective gear enter the building for protection.

This is because patient 31, who had been confirmed for Corona19 early morning (18th), stayed here.

[Daegu City officials: (patients who were hospitalized together) We'll move 28 people who have been secured from this evening first, and we are securing the room by calling the rest.]

Patient 31 has been admitted to the hospital since the last 7 days for traffic accidents.

I went out because I wasn't serious. On the third day of my hospitalization, I went to a church in Nam-gu, Daegu.

On the 15th, we had lunch with friends at a hotel in Dong-gu, and the next day we visited the church again.

Churches and hotels are now fully closed for protection.

The church was a large church with 9,000 members, and the hotel restaurant is home to hundreds of guests over the weekend.

Officials who went to a restaurant like Patient No. 31 did not have time to use the hotel, but they went home from work if they had any problems.

[Gyeongbuk Seongju-gun officials: (I went there a lot because there was an employee wedding) I don't know what's going on, so I'm working from home until I have been told to do so.]

Thirty-one patients who were admitted to the 31st and Oriental hospitals were transferred to Daegu Medical Center, a nationally designated hospital, without being quarantined.

I'm connected to reporter Son Hyung-an.

Sohn Hyung-an, where is Daegu right now?

<Reporter>

A total of 33 patients were admitted to the new Oriental Hospital where 31 patients were admitted.

Nearly 30 patients were transferred to Daegu Medical Center just a short time ago.

Patient 31 has been suspected of having corona19 and has been hospitalized for four days in a four-room hospital.

In addition, the possibility of secondary and tertiary infections is raised because of being in a hospital accident and being relatively active outside.

Patient 31, who is also being treated at Daegu Medical Center, is suffering from pneumonia, but is reported to have no major health problems.

Since you're the first patient in Yeongnam area where you haven't had any patients, you might be worried about it.

<Reporter>

Citizens are generally anxious because they do not know the path of infection.

Particularly this afternoon, suspected corona19 occurred at Daegu Keimyung University Dongsan Hospital and was quarantined in the negative pressure ward.

A 37-year-old woman has no history of visiting abroad.

Waiting for the final result, the hospital closed the emergency room at 3 pm today.

Dozens of employees have also been banned from returning home.

With the first confirmation of Corona19, Daegu canceled the citizen's day event scheduled for this Friday.
