First, let's take a closer look at the situation in Daegu and Gyeongbuk. As you have seen, there were over 4,000 patients in Daegu. TBC Nam Hyo-joo reporter is connected.

M Reporter, in Daegu, there was another case where I was confirmed and died while at home?

<Reporter>

Yes, it is. In Daegu and Gyeongbuk, one person died each. Among them, a man in his 70s who died in Daegu fell positive on the 2nd and fell home while self-isolation and was sent to hospital.

Five men died during self-isolation, including this man, all from Daegu.

This is a part of the lack of hospital bed.

Daegu still has more than 2,270 people waiting for hospitalization.

In Daegu, severe patients are transferred to each city and province hospital, and mild patients are admitted to life treatment centers. The goal is to eliminate waiting patients for hospitalization by this weekend.

It's too early to say, but if you look at the number of patients you've grown today (4 days), it's a bit smaller than the recent days?

<Reporter>

Yes, it is. In Daegu alone, the number of patients increased by 405 today.

That's a slight decrease compared to more than 500 new screeners per day over the past three days.

64% of Daegu patients are Shinchonji-related patients. However, as the Shinchonji test is nearing completion, the number of cases of Sinchonji confirmation has not increased significantly.

However, the outbreak of mass infections in nursing homes is not enough to slow down tensions.

Today, nine confirmees came out of the Seongbo Rehabilitation Center, a disabled living facility in Buk-gu, Daegu.

The director, the secretary general, two social workers, and five disabled persons were positively judged. Two female residents were also confirmed at the blue nursing home in Bonghwa, Gyeongbuk.
