Medical staff and medical equipment to care for patients are also in desperate need. Our report team made a video call with Daegu Keimyung University Dongsan Hospital medical staff, who are treating the largest number of patients with Corona19 in the country.

In the face of lack of masks and protective equipment, a medical journalist Cho Dong-chan heard of medical staffs fighting desperately against viruses for everyone.

Keimyung University Dongsan Hospital receives 218 patients with Corona19.

Ten additional patients are currently awaiting.

[Dept. of Nurse, Department of Nurse, Dongsan Hospital, Keimyung University: We do statistics on the patients who are admitted to the hospital every day.

More than 320 veteran clinicians with more than 20 years of experience are employed, but most of all, there is no shortage of nurses.

[Cheong Heum / Keimyung University Dongsan Hospital Director: Nurses are constantly accumulating fatigue and fever, these people are coming out faster. So I need at least 30 to 50 people right now.]

As well as protective clothing, masks are only about five days from now.

[Cheong Heum / Keimyung University Dongsan Hospital Director: (protective clothing) It takes 500 a day. But now I have 2,500. So you can only last five days.]

Nurses who rest for two hours after working for two hours complain that they lack a thermometer.

[Kimyung University Dongsan Hospital Nurse: Non-contact thermometer is required. Please cooperate with it a lot.]

[Cheong Heum / Keimyung University Dongsan Hospital Director: (How many do you need?) I need a hundred.]

Patients and their caregivers are very nervous.

[Kim Yoon Hee / Keimyung University Dongsan Hospital Nurse: It's so hard to be trapped there, so I have a lot of complaints. Guardians are anxious because they don't know what will happen.]

Severe patients are increasing and medical staff can't slow down.

[Cho Chi-Hum / Kyung Myung University Dongsan Hospital Director: This place is equipped with sound pressure facilities. The condition is mild, but it continues to grow severe. Even now, four patients are showing a slight bad condition.]

I asked again what I wanted to say.

[Dept. of Nurse, Dongsan Hospital, Keimyung University: Thank you for helping us nurses a lot.]

[Cheong Heum / Keimyung University Dongsan Hospital: I hope this disease can be controlled and improved quickly through this hospital. That is our wish.]
