Additional infections related to the Hanyang University Hospital in Seongdong-gu, Seoul, where the novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19) outbreak occurred. The quarantine authorities quarantined the affected layer in a cohort (same group) and entered a full test.
According to the Central Defense Countermeasure Headquarters (Bang Dae-bon) on the 30th, a total of 27 people were diagnosed with Corona 19 in relation to Hanyang University Hospital as of 0 o’clock on the day. On the 27th, one of the guardians of the hospitalized patient was confirmed for the first time. Afterwards, the number of confirmed cases increased to 5 on the 28th and 21 on the 29th as a result of a total of 213 people tested by the quarantine authorities. These 27 patients were 10 patients, 8 caregivers, 7 family members, 1 doctor, and 1 nurse.
The quarantine authorities cohort quarantined the 15th floor of the hospital where the patient was located. Cohort quarantine is a measure to quarantine people who have been exposed to a specific disease in a group (cohort). After trying to determine the path of the confirmed person and the path of infection, the hospital is conducting a full-scale examination on 1,780 people, including 510 doctors and 550 nurses.
The quarantine authorities are also investigating the vulnerable factors of infection in hospitals. According to Bang Dae-bon, the ward where the confirmed person came out was designated a quarantine manager and created a user list. A distance of more than 1m between the patient’s beds was maintained, and window ventilation for each room was also performed. Large hospitals can enter the building only if the corona19 test is negative before hospitalization or surgery. However, if a patient who is incubated with an infected state develops after hospitalization, there is a risk of further infection. Earlier in this hospital, an artificial kidney center employee was confirmed with Corona 19 in August last year, and the center was closed. At that time, an additional employee was confirmed in an examination of the staff and patients.
Kwak Jin, head of the patient management team, Dae-Bon Bang, said, “The indicator patient developed symptoms on the 26th and was confirmed on the 27th, and we investigated the contact family and contact person in the hospital to confirm additional confirmed cases.” Whether it has moved to or vice versa, more epidemiological investigations are needed.”
