[앵커]
It was found that 46 people died this month alone after being infected with Corona 19 in nursing hospitals or facilities without proper treatment.
In the meantime, the medical community has steadily raised voices saying that it is necessary to prepare for a large-scale infection due to the group infection of Daenam Hospital in Qingdao in February and March, but the health authorities were in fact letting go of their hands.
Reporter Choi Jae-min reports.

This is a nursing hospital that is isolated from the same group due to outbreaks of group infection.
Of the 32 cumulative deaths in this hospital, 25 died in bed.
About 40 people who were confirmed yesterday have not yet been assigned a bed.
In nursing hospitals and nursing facilities where group infections occurred, the number of deaths has recently increased rapidly.
In this month alone, 46 people died.
A lack of dedicated beds is the biggest cause.
One reason is that most of them are elderly, so it is difficult to send them directly to a dedicated hospital when a separate caregiver is needed.

However, experts believe that treating COVID-19 patients in nursing hospitals or facilities is virtually difficult.
This is because the equipment and manpower are extremely scarce.

In the meantime, the health authorities pointed out that virtually everything has come up with measures to quarantine group infections related to nursing hospitals or facilities.
Still, deaths in nursing hospitals or facilities were quietly excluded from deaths while waiting for a bed.
The reason is that it is difficult to see death in the air because it was killed in a medical institution.
