Continuous group infection is also a risk factor. The number of confirmed cases related to Daegu Catholic Hospital has already exceeded 220, but as a result of on-site inspection, it was confirmed that the quarantine management was insufficient. SBS has exclusively obtained the inspection results for why this happened at the front-line hospital of Corona.

first confirmed case at Daegu Catholic University Hospital was on the 21st of last month.



A female caregiver in her 50s, who had been vaccinated with the AstraZeneca vaccine, but had a breakthrough infection.

quarantine authorities conducted an emergency on-site inspection yesterday (6th).



When SBS checked the contents of the inspection, it was found that the corona test for guardians and caregivers was poor.



In the case of major hospitals in the metropolitan area, it is recommended that caregivers present a corona-negative certificate within 72 hours of starting care.



However, in Daegu, these regulations did not apply.



According to the government guidelines, the pre-emptive examination conducted once a week was omitted because the caregiver is not a hospital worker.



This is why about 40 caregivers and guardians who tested positive later were not confirmed earlier.

Daegu is only now coming From the 10th, it is mandatory for caregivers to submit a negative confirmation within 72 hours and to undergo a preemptive test once a week.



In the on-site inspection, it was also found that the air conditioner was turned on for a long time with the window of the hospital room closed, and the ventilation of the window was not performed properly.



The quarantine authorities will pay attention to the fact that at least 62 of the confirmed cases are breakthrough infections, and will actively review the third vaccination, or booster shot, for medical staff who come in contact with patients who are at high risk of Corona.
