There is a serious problem of shortage of beds for critically ill patients with Corona 19, such as a series of group infections in facilities vulnerable to infections such as nursing homes and deaths waiting for bed assignments.
The government has decided to strengthen periodic preemptive inspections for facilities vulnerable to infection, such as nursing hospitals.
Reporter Lee Dong-woo reports.

A nursing hospital in Bucheon, Gyeonggi-do.
12 more people were infected with Corona 19, and the cumulative confirmed number reached 146.
In particular, the number of related deaths increased to 14, with three infected people waiting for bed assignments dead.
Except for one person who was transferred to Seongnam Medical Center, Gyeonggi-do, all died while waiting for a dedicated bed assignment.
This is because the bed of patients with severe gastric disorders is lack of prenatal.
In fact, there are only 42 beds in the country that can treat severely ill patients with Corona 19, and it is a serious situation with not even one remaining in Gyeonggi, Incheon, Chungcheong, Gyeongbuk, and Jeollanam-do.
Experts point out that securing a bed for severely ill patients is another matter of securing the best facilities or professionals.

Meanwhile, as 23 more people were confirmed in nursing homes in Seo-gu, Incheon, and group infections in vulnerable facilities followed, the government came up with measures to strengthen quarantine.
[정은경 / 중앙방역대책본부장 : 요양병원 등 감염취약시설의 코로나19 예방관리 강화를 위해서 행정명령을 통해 종사자 등에 대한 주기적인 선제검사를 의무화하고 종사자와 시설관리자에 대한 방역수칙 준수를 강화하고자 합니다.]
The test cycle for preliminary inspection for all workers at facilities vulnerable to infection is shortened from 2 weeks to 1 week in the metropolitan area and from 4 weeks to 2 weeks in the non-metropolitan area.
In addition, private gatherings after work are prohibited for workers such as nursing hospitals to block the transmission of infection by external infectious agents.
In fact, as a result of investigating the route of infection in cases of group outbreaks in nursing homes and hospitals, the highest spread was from workers, followed by the spread by patients, users, and caregivers.
The government is in a hurry to strengthen quarantine for vulnerable facilities and to take measures for the shortage of seriously ill patients’ beds, but it seems difficult to avoid pointing out that there is insufficient preparation for the obviously expected problems.
