Yes, there is a line to receive tests at the temporary screening test center installed here at Hanyang University Hospital.

After the first hospital outbreak situation was reported yesterday, an additional 4 people were confirmed.

The Seoul Metropolitan Government announced that as of 0 o’clock on the 30th, 27 people were confirmed to be corona19.

So far, 10 patients, 1 doctor, 1 nurse, 8 caregivers and 7 families have been confirmed.

The first confirmed person was released from this hospital on the 27th, three days ago.

It was a family member of a patient admitted to the neurosurgery ward on the 15th floor of the hospital.

Since then, the infection has spread over 20 people, including staff, patients, and caregivers, every day yesterday.

The city of Seoul quarantined the 15th floor of the hospital where the confirmed person came from.

The confirmed person was moved to a dedicated hospital, and epidemiological investigations are underway on the path of the confirmed patient, contact person, and path of infection.

However, other hospital facilities such as emergency rooms are operating normally.

Complete tests are also conducted for hospital staff, patients, and guardians.

However, as the number of hospital staff is about 2,000 and the number of beds is about 800, the size of the confirmed cases may increase further depending on the results of the total examination.

In a few moments, it is expected that the hospital’s actions will be decided based on the test results to be released by the quarantine authorities.

Earlier, in August of last year, an employee of the artificial kidney center at this hospital was tested positive and closed the center, and an additional employee was confirmed.

Other group infections are also appearing sporadically.

The number of group infections that appeared in welfare facilities for homeless people at Seoul Station Plaza also increased by seven, so far 40 homeless people and one employee have been confirmed.

In addition, 11 and 9 people were confirmed at a workplace-related infection in Dongdaemun-gu and an oriental medicine hospital in Gangdong-gu, respectively, and the infection is spreading.
