keep saying, but only if you do your daily life while keeping things to keep, you can go to step 1 for a long time.

The number of newly confirmed coronavirus cases is also 73, not decreasing.

Another 32 people were infected at the rehabilitation hospital in Gwangju, Gyeonggi-do, and I am particularly worried about such places as nursing hospitals and rehabilitation hospitals.

Let’s connect the reporters who are on site.



Reporter Ahn Sang-woo, has this hospital been able to figure out how the infection started?



<Reporter>



Yes, yesterday (on the 16th), a caregiver was first confirmed here.



The quarantine authorities estimate this caregiver is the first route of infection.



This is because 244 contacts of caregivers were tested yesterday and today and 31 additional people were tested positive. 



Access to the hospital is currently controlled, and all wards with confirmed cases have been cohort quarantined.



Among the confirmed cases, three families in Hongcheon, Gangwon-do, who this caregiver spent time with during the Hangeul Day holiday, were also included.

Rehabilitation hospitals and nursing hospitals are continuing infections, so I need to tighten the reins again.



<Reporter>



Yes, the quarantine authorities warned that the coronavirus, which was quietly spreading at today's briefing, could cause an explosion in nursing hospitals and rehabilitation hospitals as their final destination.



Therefore, we repeatedly emphasized compliance with the quarantine regulations, especially for hospital officials.

Until now, I delivered it to Gwangju Rehabilitation Hospital in Gyeonggi-do.
