As the Omicron mutation spreads and new confirmed cases continue to pour in around 300,000 a day, it is said that some seriously ill patients are looking for caregivers who were infected with Corona 19.
The idea is that if you recover from Corona once, you will have stronger immunity and the risk of infection will be lowered.
A caregiver agency explained that guardians are starting to request that those who have contracted the coronavirus be sent away after treatment has been completed.
It is said that caregivers who have been confirmed with Corona can be more at ease because patients are a high-risk group that is difficult to move and susceptible to infection.
A nursing hospital in Gyeonggi-do, while looking for a caregiver for a corona ward, put forward the condition of being a healthy person who was released after being diagnosed with Omicron mutation.
However, experts were concerned about this, although it may have a partial effect, such as preventing the worsening of symptoms in those who have been confirmed, but it does not completely prevent COVID-19.
