South Korea's Central Epidemic Prevention Countermeasures Headquarters reported on March 19 that as of 00:00 on the 19th local time, South Korea had newly added 152 confirmed cases of new coronary pneumonia, and the cumulative number of confirmed infections rose to 8,565.
In South Korea, the number of new cases in a single day stayed within 100 cases for four consecutive days and then jumped to three figures.
According to a report by Yonhap on March 18, a cluster of hospital infections has recently occurred in Daegu, South Korea, where the epidemic has slowed recently. As of March 18, a total of 87 people in 5 hospitals have been diagnosed with new crown pneumonia.
Among them, the most significant number of confirmed cases was an elderly nursing home located in the Western District of Daegu. Seventy-four cases have been diagnosed, 57 are hospital patients, and 17 are hospital employees.
The nursing home specializes in treating older adults with dementia. There are 115 patients in the nursing home. On the 16th, a nurse at the hospital was diagnosed with new coronary pneumonia, becoming the first confirmed case. Since then, the health department has performed a virus test on all patients and medical staff in the hospital. At present, only one third has been completed, and more than 70 confirmed cases have been detected.
South Korea's Disease Management Division, the hospital, and the Daegu City Government have initiated pathological investigations and adopted preventive measures to block similar infections. During the investigation, confirmed cases were found in four other nursing homes or elderly hospitals, and a total of 87 confirmed cases in 5 hospitals.
With signs of a rebound in the domestic epidemic, it can be concluded that in the future, South Korea's epidemic prevention measures will be more stringent, and import and export trade will be more strictly controlled.
