South Korea New Corona Hotel, training facility, etc. to be isolated facility for mild people April 3 19:24

In Korea, where the number of infected people exceeded 10,000 in three days, we are aggressively testing for new coronavirus, and we are also working on securing beds to respond to the increasing number of infected people.

That's why the “Life Care Center” was introduced last month. The Living Care Center is a facility that isolates mainly those infected who have been confirmed to be infected with the virus, but who do not need to be hospitalized due to mild symptoms.

Patients at the center will be provided with a thermometer and a sanitary kit containing medicines, underwear, toiletries and masks, and meals will be provided free of charge.

In addition, the resident medical staff measures the temperature twice a day, monitors the progress, and performs X-ray examinations as needed.

The center is operated using existing buildings, such as hotels, corporate training facilities, and sports training facilities. Currently, it is installed in 17 places, such as the southern region of Daegu, where many people are infected, and the capital city, Seoul, with a total of about 1,200 residents.

In addition, in the event that the infection spreads further, the center is also arranging facilities that can respond as a center, which means that approximately 12,000 additional people can be accepted.

At first, some people in Korea died while waiting because they could not be hospitalized.While intensively transporting severely ill people to hospitals, those who were not seriously affected were reported to living treatment centers. By looking at the situation, the aim is to promote treatment efficiently.

Prime Minister Jeong Se-gyun said, “It is possible to make the most of limited resources, such as providing minimal medical services to patients with mild symptoms at home treatment centers and enabling them to go home, We've overcome the crisis in a way ".

To date, more than 443,000 people have been tested in South Korea, and 3867 infected cases have been isolated, including those currently staying at home care centers.
