            (2nd LD) More mass infections may come from hospitals, medical facilities
            All Headlines 20:47 February 26, 2020
            (ATTN: ADDS more information in last 4 paras)

            SEOUL, Feb. 26 (Yonhap) -- More hospitals across the country started cohort isolation on Wednesday on fears that the country will see additional mass infections of the new coronavirus at such facilities.

            The country reported an additional 284 confirmed cases of COVID-19 throughout the day, bringing the total to 1,261 with 12 deaths.

            A hospital in the southeastern country of Cheongdo has been under cohort isolation since Saturday, and at least seven of the country's 12 deaths from the novel coronavirus are linked to the facility.

            Cohort isolation is the separating of a group of patients with the same infectious disease from others. The method has been proven to be effective in preventing the further spread of disease within medical facilities...

This man is the third death in South Korea infected with the new crown virus.

              According to the Gyeongju City Government and the Gyeongju Police Department, at 9 pm on the 21st, the male friend reported that he had died at home and called the police. According to statements from surrounding personnel, the man had cough and bronchitis symptoms during his lifetime and was treated for it. The police commissioned a health department to test for the new coronavirus to confirm the cause of death. Since the man is dead, it is difficult to find out the route of infection and the movement route after infection.

                  • Six Patients Confirmed for Non-infectious Sincheonji Group Infection in Daegu… Is Sporadic Spreading Begins

                    2020-02-27 04:30:00
                    Translation
                    [Seoul = News] Reporter of the Gu office = Sporadic spreading in this area was confirmed by six patients unrelated to 'Shincheonji Daegu Church', which was known to be infected in Daegu, where a large number of patients with a new type of coronavirus infection (Corona 19) are developing. It is a concern.

                    According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, six patients were identified as a result of the Corona 19 test on 503 pneumonia patients aged 19 or older who were admitted to Daegu by 27th.

                    Kim Woo-ju, professor of infectious medicine at Korea University Guro Hospital, said, “This means a lot.” “Corona 19 symptoms begin and go to pneumonia. It is usually 7 days. "I was exposed to means," he said, "not just infected with nephropathy (why the infection) did not know why pneumonia began."

                    To date, a total of 710 patients with Corona19 occurred in Daegu. The authorities believe that most patients are associated with the Shinchon Daegu Church. In the Daegu area, there are 501 patients who have been identified as Shincheon Daegu Church.
                    -snip-
                    However, the outbreak of infection outside the connection with the Shinchon Daegu Church has increased the possibility of sporadic spreading of infection in the region. In particular, pneumonia is a high-risk group that is concerned about future health because it is a base disease.

                    In addition, the government plans to test about 28,000 people with colds similar to those of early years, including fever and respiratory symptoms. In this test, sporadic spreading in the region is expected to be realized when a large number of patients with corona19 are not related to Shincheonji Daegu Church.

                    If a patient is added sporadically rather than a specific path of infection, contact and movement management will be unable to handle the patient itself. Already, there is a shortage of hospital beds and medical staff for confirmed patients.

                    • Coronavirus in South Korea

                      Warning - Level 3, Avoid Nonessential Travel—Widespread Community Transmission

                      Key Points

                      • CDC recommends that travelers avoid all nonessential travel to South Korea.
                      • There is a widespread, ongoing outbreak of respiratory illness caused by a novel (new) coronavirus that can be spread from person to person.
                      • Older adults and people with chronic medical conditions may be at increased risk for severe disease.
                      What is the current situation?

                      CDC recommends that travelers avoid all nonessential travel to South Korea. There is limited access to adequate medical care in affected areas.

                      A novel coronavirus is causing an outbreak of respiratory illness (COVID-19) in South Korea. Illness with this virus has ranged from mild to severe. Signs and symptoms of infection include fever, cough, and difficulty breathing. Sore throat also has been reported in some patients. Some patients also have reported diarrhea without other symptoms. This new coronavirus has caused severe disease and death in patients who developed pneumonia. Risk factors for severe illness are not yet clear, although older adults and those with chronic medical conditions may be at higher risk for severe illness.

                      More Information

                      Novel Coronavirus Information for Travelers

                      Health Information for Travelers to South Korea What can travelers do to protect themselves and others?

                      CDC recommends avoiding nonessential travel to South Korea. If you must travel:
                      • Avoid contact with sick people.
                      • Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth with unwashed hands.
                      • Discuss travel to South Korea with your healthcare provider. Older adults and travelers with chronic medical conditions may be at risk for more severe disease.
                      • Clean your hands often by washing them with soap and water for at least 20 seconds or using an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains 60%–95% alcohol. Soap and water should be used if hands are visibly dirty.
                        • It is especially important to clean hands after going to the bathroom; before eating; and after coughing, sneezing or blowing your nose.

                      If you spent time in South Korea during the past 14 days and feel sick with fever or cough, or have difficulty breathing:
                      • Seek medical advice. Call ahead before you go to a doctor’s office or emergency room. Tell them about your recent travel and your symptoms.
                      • Avoid contact with others.
                      • Do not travel while sick.
                      • Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or your sleeve (not your hands) when coughing or sneezing.
                      • Clean your hands often by washing them with soap and water for at least 20 seconds or using an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains 60%–95% alcohol immediately after coughing, sneezing or blowing your nose. Soap and water should be used if hands are visibly dirty.
                      Clinician Information

                      Healthcare providers should obtain a detailed travel history for patients with fever or acute respiratory symptoms. For patients with these symptoms who were in South Korea and had onset of illness within 2 weeks of leaving, consider the novel coronavirus and notify infection control personnel and your local health department immediately.

                      Although routes of transmission have yet to be definitively determined, CDC recommends a cautious approach to interacting with patients under investigation. Ask such patients to wear a face mask as soon as they are identified. Conduct patient evaluation in a private room with the door closed, ideally an airborne infection isolation room, if available. Personnel entering the room should use standard precautions, contact precautions, and airborne precautions, and use eye protection (goggles or a face shield).

                      • Negative pressure bed only for severe patients, medical staff isolation

                        Edit 2020-02-27 03:18

                        On the 25th, it is a support room for all new coronavirus infections (corona 19) located on the 5th floor of the National Medical Center in Jung-gu, Seoul. An urgent request has been received to find a hospital to transfer patients who are admitted to Kyungpook Qingdao University Hospital. Difficulty breathing was a serious condition requiring emergency medical care. The on-call doctor contacted 29 hospitals nationwide with state-designated negative pressure isolation beds and asked if there were any empty beds. But there was no bed left.

                        At 11:30 pm, Incheon Gachon University Gil Hospital received a reply saying, "It is possible to enter the room after 10 am on the 26th." Four out of five negative pressure beds are in use by a suspect, but one can be emptied. The patient waited about 15 hours before entering the negative pressure room on the 26th morning.

                        As Corona19 confirmed more than 1,000 patients on the 26th, the problem of hospital bed shortages is rising not only in Daegu-Gyeongbuk but also in the whole country. The number of confirmed patients with Corona19 was 1261, up by 284 from the previous day. The maximum increase in the day. The number exceeded 1000 in 37 days after the first patient occurred. The 12th died on the same day.
                        -snip

                        There are 161 nationally designated negative pressure isolation rooms and 198 beds. However, as the utilization rate has already reached 100%, there was no empty bed (full-bed) at 25 pm. As of this afternoon, only 408 (57.5%) of 710 patients in Daegu were hospitalized. The relatively mild 302 patients were self-contained because they were confirmed without confirmation of their condition. This is the reason why the standard of use of the room should be improved according to the severity of the patient.
