Due to the spread of Corona 19, contact visits are prohibited at nursing facilities nationwide even this Lunar New Year holiday.
If you make a reservation in advance, you can meet face-to-face in a separate meeting room with a screen, which was covered by TBC reporter Hyo-Joo Nam.

In Daegu, contact and visitation were banned from November 18 last year, when the corona virus spread again.
