Both the medical staff and the patients of the isolated Gwangju 21st Century Hospital were negatively judged after being confirmed that a new coronavirus infection confirmed patient was hospitalized.

According to Gwangju City on the 6th, the city and the Centers for Disease Control conducted a new corona test on 134 people the day before, including 46 employees, 88 patients, carers and caregivers.

These were people who stayed at this hospital when the patient was confirmed 16 times four days.

Upon confirmation, the hospital was denied access and all were quarantined.

Twenty three people on the same floor as patient 16 were classified as high-risk and kept in hospital.

Thirty-one were classified as low-risk and moved to the Gwangju Fire School Dormitory, and the rest were classified as self-containers (active monitors) to continue to check their status.

They will be quarantined until the late 14th (February 17).

There are confusions as confirmers emerge and the number of contacts and quarantine changes over the course of two days.

The city said that the previous day, a new corona test will be conducted on a total of 140 people, including 70 medical staff, nurses, employees, and 70 patients.

The city explained that the numbers had changed because some medical staff and patients were not transferred to Gwangju 21st Century Hospital and Gwangju Fire School and were quarantined.

The question is whether the city, which is the managing body, is in good communication with the disease management headquarters or the field staff.

The city received a list of 306 contacts from patient 16 from the Centers for Disease Control and sent them to the borough to check on their status.

By autonomous district, the contact and where the contact was located and entered into 'management'.

In the process of further confirmation after receiving a list from Zilbon, the number of contacts increased to 340.

In addition, she will be hospitalized with Patient 16, and will further identify the contact of her infected daughter (Patient 18).
