The fifth death toll from Corona19 was confirmed, and men in their 50s who are being treated in the same ward as this woman are now in critical condition.

I am currently suffering from Ekmo, an artificial cardiopulmonary disorder, due to severe breathing problems.

In a short period of time, there will be a shortage of patients due to the rapid increase in the number of patients. How is the situation in hospitals?

<Reporter>

Yes, the number of confirmed patients cannot keep up with the number of beds.

More than 160 confirmed patients are currently being hospitalized, with a similar number of confirmed patients waiting for hospitalization, with more than 320 confirmed Daegu.

As soon as we have secured 520 beds at Keimyung University Dongsan Hospital and Daegu Medical Center, we plan to build more than 80 beds by tomorrow.

The current trend is that additional beds will be available within a few days, and the government has decided to use other nationally-designated negative pressure therapy beds, including the National Armed Forces Hospital.
