The number of domestic patients increased by about 500 people a day, to 6593. Two more people have died, so far, 44 are dead. Worryingly, there are many cases where the diagnosis is confirmed in hospitals, welfare facilities, etc. in addition to Daegu Sincheonji Church. Indeed, the number of so-called 'populations' that have been infected in one of the confirmed patients is increasing. For this reason, the authorities also said it is most important to prevent these cases at this point. Let's listen.

[Eun-Kyung Chung / Head of Disease Control Division: We need to be thoroughly prepared for the spread of small-scale fashion through group facilities, multiple facilities and medical institutions.]

Then, let's point out one case of mass infection that the authorities are watching. First, let's look at Daegu and Gyeongbuk. TBC Nam Hyo-joo reporter is connected.

Reporter Nam Hyo-ju, first of all, let's sort out the deaths of patients in Daegu and Gyeongbuk.

<Reporter>

Yes, there are 367 confirmed patients added to Daegu today (6 days).

It was a little longer than yesterday, but kept 300 people for two consecutive days.

In Daegu, the number of deaths increased by one night, an 80-year-old man who was treated at Chilgok Kyungpook National University Hospital.

This man usually suffered from high blood pressure and diabetes. He died early today after being confirmed and hospitalized last 28 days.

Although the authorities continue to increase treatment facilities, failing to keep up with the increase in patients, more than 2,200 patients, similar to yesterday, are waiting for hospitalization in Daegu.

Especially in Gyeongbuk area, I am worried that the number of confirmed patients is increasing where the elderly are together.

<Reporter>

Yes, it is. In Gyeongsangbuk-do today, the increase in the number of confirmed patients was the highest ever.

There were 123 additional checkers, of which 57 occurred in Gyeongsan.

Within two days, more than 100 patients came from Gyeongsan alone.

The problem is the spread of group infections centered on nursing homes.

Today, 15 people are in Silvertown, Gyeongsan, and 8 patients are in nursing homes.

The green sanatorium in Bonghwa, Gyeongbuk, where a bunch of people were confirmed yesterday, confirmed 15 more people and increased the number to 51.

There was also one death in Gyeongbuk, a 90-year-old woman who died at Bonghwa Haesung Hospital.

Unfortunately, the news came.

The 40-year-old official of the Sungjoo County Office who died of cerebral hemorrhage died today during an emergency job.
