At a nursing hospital in Busan, the bereaved families of a patient in their 70s who died of Corona were not properly informed of the corona infection, and the bereaved families are outraged. Until the end of last year, the hospital informed the family that the patient was doing well, so the shock to the bereaved family was even greater.



The contents of the report were covered by KNN reporter Park Myung-sun.

A person in his 70s died at a nursing hospital in Busan on the 2nd.



The family also received a letter from the hospital at the end of the year saying that Mr. A, who was hospitalized in the middle of last month, is doing well.



However, on the 23rd of last month, Mr. A was already diagnosed with Corona.



This fact was delivered belatedly to the family, who thought it strange the hospital's response that they were inquiring about the funeral procedure to the public health center.



[A's wife / bereaved family: (Corona) I texted twice saying it was negative and said that he was eating well. He said that it would be okay if he got Ringer (sap), and I never thought that he was confirmed to be Corona 19.]



The local public health center believes that the hospital did not properly inform the bereaved of the corona confirmation and death.



[Choi Myeong-jin/Health Administration Division Manager, Yeonje-gu Public Health Center, Busan: Because it is difficult to inform the person (patient) of the person (patient) accurately because he or she has dementia or has difficulty in mobility, we are guiding parents to inform them.]



The hospital, which is under cohort quarantine, explained that an administrative error occurred as the number of confirmed cases increased.



[Responsible for nursing hospital: The nurse's office and the administrative department can both notify, but I think there must have been a misunderstanding.

Since there are more than 40 patients...

.]



However, the bereaved family and funeral directors are unable to hide their embarrassment and anger due to the hospital administration not properly reporting the fact that the deceased patient was infected with COVID-19.
