So far, Qingdao University Hospital, which has 113 corona19 confirmed patients, made a press release last night.

The hospital explained that Lee's brother had been hospitalized for five days in the hospital's emergency room and died for treatment from the 27th of last month.

Xintian church members attended the funeral earlier, and health authorities are investigating the path of infection.

However, the hospital side said, "The relationship between the hospital staff and the family's Sincheonji has not been revealed yet."

It has also been shown that patients in the hospital's psychiatric wards have been in contact with the outside several times since late last month.

They were reported to have been in contact with the outside for 25 times, including overnight stays, outings and visits.

A hospital official said, "Even patients with closed wards can stay overnight at the doctor's discretion."

The hospital explained that on the 15th, psychiatric inpatients and medical staff began complaining of fever symptoms, and on the 18th, they ordered a corona 19 test and were confirmed the next day.
