It is a nursing hospital with 462 patients and workers.

With the emergence of Corona 19 patients, access was completely restricted.

This is because more than 60 confirmed patients came out within two days.

It is the most outbreak of Gwangju so far.

Fortunately, the remaining 400 were negative.

Outbreaks were confirmed by preemptive inspections of high-risk facilities.

As a result, the number of confirmed patients in Gwangju surpassed 1,200, and 7 of them died.

The nursing hospital immediately entered the same group quarantine.

The confirmed cases and contacts were separated.

The quarantine authorities held a joint countermeasure meeting to minimize the number of deaths and prevent further spread.

In addition, patients with negative results were transferred to another hospital, and workers decided to perform rapid antigen testing daily.
