I delivered the news yesterday (22nd) that the government had asked corona patients who have been in intensive care beds for more than 20 days to empty their beds, but until today, less than half of the patients who plan to move rooms are. Confusion continues between medical staff who are forced to let go and patients who refuse to leave.

This is a government order sent to 210 corona patients who are hospitalized in critically ill beds.



20 days after the onset of symptoms, the possibility of transmission of the infection has decreased, so you should move to a general ward.



[Park Young-joon/Central Quarantine Countermeasures Headquarters Epidemiological Investigation Team Leader: (Symptoms) After the 20th, the transmission power is almost continuous or there is no such evidence yet, so after discussing the relevant evidence and experts… .] There



are 89 patients who have already moved or are undergoing all-out procedures. It is only 42% of the total.



63 patients are expected to submit an affidavit stating the reason why they cannot leave the ward through the medical staff.



It is known that the rest of the patients also objected, saying that there was an error in calculating the period of 20 days.



Patients and their families are pouring complaints into online cafes, saying, "The government does not consider the patient's condition and is trying to push it down unconditionally."



As the backlash grew stronger, the government announced today that it would not take all measures based on the date of the 20th.



He also explained that even if critically ill patients move from one room to another, they do not stop treatment, but only lift isolation.



Regarding this, the on-site medical staff said in a phone call with SBS, "Even if the corona infection power has dropped, most patients have weakened immunity due to long-term illness. .



They understand that it is the government's hard work to solve the shortage of beds, but they pointed out that they should also consider ways to reduce the concerns of patients.
