Nursing support workers who were put into the Cheongju Medical Center, a treatment facility dedicated to Corona 19, were confirmed one after another.
In addition, the nursing personnel classified as contacts are also in self-isolation, so there is concern that there will be a shortage of medical staff who take care of patients.

Cheongju Medical Center, a treatment facility dedicated to Corona 19.
Four nursing support workers who were put into the isolation ward here were tested positive.
On the 11th, according to the confirmation of Mr. A in his 20s, a nursing support worker in the quarantine ward, on the 11th, the quarantine officials thoroughly tested 26 people working in the same ward to confirm additional infection.

Two of the confirmed cases showed symptoms such as sore throat from the 10th, and the other two are asymptomatic.
All of them are nursing support personnel who were used to treat group-infected patients at the Chamsarang Nursing Home last month.
The quarantine authorities estimate that they were infected while caring for patients.
Earlier, on the 5th at this medical center, a nursing worker in her twenties was confirmed.
Since the 22nd of last month, 33 nursing personnel have been put into the Cheongju Medical Center.
However, as a result of successive confirmation judgments, 9 people were classified as contacts and self-quarantine, and only 15 people remained at the end of the contract period.
There may be a shortage of medical personnel taking care of patients.

Currently, there are about 50 confirmed patients in the Cheongju Medical Center.
The quarantine authorities believe that nursing home residents are being discharged from the hospital, so there will be no disruptions in patient care.
We are concerned that the infection in the medical center will spread to other medical staff.
