<Anchor> The



spread of nursing homes and nursing hospitals is also scary.

A new group infection occurred in a nursing home in Yangcheon-gu, Seoul, and 26 confirmed cases. The group infection in an elderly nursing facility in Cheorwon, Gangwon-do is showing signs of spreading to the local community'n-order' infection.

<Reporter> This



is a nursing facility in Yangcheon-gu, Seoul.



There is an access control notice on the first floor of the building.



After an employee was first confirmed on the 21st, a total of 26 people were infected.



The quarantine authorities believe that the infection has led to a series of infections including residents, co-workers and family members.



Facilities where the outbreak appeared were quarantined in the same group.



[Seoul Yangcheon-gu Office staff: They (confirmed) were found on the 4th and 5th floors, so they are in isolation from the same group...] In



Cheorwon, Gangwon-do, 11 residents of Geunnam-myeon and Galmal-eup were confirmed.



Of these, six were found to have been in contact with a confirmed person at a religious facility, and five were found to be neighbors who ate lunch together in a small group or had frequent contact.



The quarantine authorities are suspicious of whether the group infection in the Cheorwon area started at an elderly protection facility.



In an epidemiological investigation, it was confirmed that the movement of new confirmed patients overlapped with the movement route of the confirmed patients who visited the elderly care facility where the recent outbreak occurred.



In a nursing hospital in Sunchang-gun, Jeollabuk-do, the cumulative number of confirmed cases increased to 61 as 44 people were tested positive in a pile.



The quarantine authorities are deepening pains as they show signs of spreading a series of infections linked to vulnerable facilities across the country.
