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

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.
