Our precious daily life is threatened again.

The number of new corona19 confirmed cases again exceeded 200.

I wrote that I wear masks well, but where the gap was created, it has increased to 200 in 73 days since September 2nd.

Moreover, confirmed cases are coming from all over the country, not from a specific group or region.

In particular, at Chonnam National University Hospital in Gwangju, four people, including doctors, were confirmed. The emergency room door was closed until the day after tomorrow (16th), and medical staff and about 5,000 patients were all tested.

Following the confirmation of a neurosurgery specialist at Chonnam National University Hospital last night, today a fellow doctor was also confirmed.



Outpatient treatment spaces, some wards, and emergency rooms were temporarily closed due to subsequent confirmation by medical staff.



Emergency specimen tests are also being conducted for about 5,000 people, including hospital medical staff, workers, and patients.



The quarantine authorities even considered cohort isolation based on the results of the risk assessment, and patients complained of anxiety.

doctor working at a general hospital in Gwangju and a nurse at Hwasun Chonnam National University Hospital were confirmed one after another.



The doctors and nurses were identified as acquaintances of Chonnam National University's first confirmed cases and attendees at a dinner party, respectively.



Hwasun Chonnam National University Hospital nurses contact about 50 people, and it is estimated that at least 200 patients and medical staff contacted a doctor at a general hospital in Gwangju.
