Yes, a temporary screening laboratory was installed here at Hanyang University Hospital, and people are crowding today, even on the weekend.

After the first group infection situation was reported yesterday, an additional 4 people were confirmed today.

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 of inpatients.

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.

In addition, epidemiological investigations are being conducted on the path of movement, contacts, and infection routes of confirmed patients.

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

The hospital also conducts full-scale examinations for staff, patients, and guardians.

So far, more than 210 people have been tested, 149 are negative, and 39 are waiting for the test results.

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.

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.
