More than 60 confirmed patients came from a psychiatric hospital in Daegu. It was already located in the same building as the nursing home where 90 people were confirmed last week, but at that time, only the hospital staff were examined without examining all of them, and they later confirmed a collective infection.

At the second hospital in Daegu, a mental hospital, 61 inpatients and one caregiver were confirmed corona19.

It's been eight days since the mass infection occurred at Daesil Nursing Hospital in the same building.

When Daesil Nursing Hospital and the 2nd Americas Hospital were combined, more than 150 confirmed cases occurred.

The mass infection at Daesil Nursing Hospital was raised on the 19th as a result of concern about infection at the 2nd American Hospital in the same building.

As a result of the diagnostic tests of 72 hospital staff members except Daegu City, all of them were negative, but 3 patients showed high fever symptoms.

Of these, 1 was positive, and 61 were confirmed as a result of an emergency survey of 355 employees and patients.


Although the two hospitals have used the elevator and the entrance on the first floor, the quarantine authorities only conducted diagnostic tests for employees.

In addition, Daegu City said that hospitalization patients were continuously monitored, but dozens of new patients were confirmed the day after the first confirmation.
