Officials: There may be people who have voiced voices during the incubation period, so we are checking the distance from the bed or something like this on a business trip.] As the

mass infection of nursing hospitals followed and side effects of cohort quarantine continued to occur, the government took measures belatedly.



[Son Young-rae / Head of Strategic Planning Division, Central Accident Control Headquarters: (For nursing hospitals) All groups of confirmed or non-confirmed will be transferred to the outside, and only homogeneous groups will be quarantined.

All nursing hospital workers nationwide are subjected to a PCR test every week.]



By the way, nursing hospitals in the metropolitan area are already undergoing tests every week.



In the case of the Incheon nursing hospital, where group infection was newly confirmed, workers were tested on the 24th and 25th of last month, and all of them were negative.



And a week later, on the 30th and 31st, I had the test again, and the results came out yesterday. 43 people, including 7 workers and 36 patients, were infected.



Although it was tested every week and visited hospitalized patients was completely restricted, it was not enough to prevent the spread of the corona.
