A patient in her mid-20s who was infected with Corona 19 died on the 12th.

This is the first case in Korea where a confirmed patient in his 20s died.

A, who suffered from a cerebral hemorrhage in a traffic accident, has been hospitalized in Busan for over a year.

However, earlier this month, a group infection spread in the hospital, and Mr. A, who came into contact with the confirmed case, was also infected.

Mr. A, who developed acute pneumonia with fever symptoms, died one day after being confirmed.

It seems that there was no time to move to a dedicated hospital for COVID-19 treatment.

In the hospital where Mr. A was hospitalized, 25 people, including 11 patients, 10 employees, and 4 contacts, have been confirmed since the first confirmed on the 4th.

It has not been determined from whom the infection began.

Currently, the hospital is quarantined in the same group, and no more confirmed cases were found in additional tests.

As hospitalized patients die of COVID-19, the importance of infection control in hospitals is once again being emphasized.
