[Asia Economy Reporter Baek Kyunghwan] The 'Trinity Rehabilitation and Nursing Hospital' in Samseong-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, where confirmed cases of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) have occurred, will undergo cohort isolation. Cohort isolation is a measure that groups all patients and medical staff of a healthcare facility with confirmed infections into a single group and isolates them entirely.
According to Gangnam-gu on the 5th, the 'Trinity Rehabilitation and Nursing Hospital' located in Samseong-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, will enter a two-week cohort isolation. Three confirmed cases were reported the day before related to this hospital near Bongeunsa Station on Seoul Subway Line 9. However, no additional confirmed cases have emerged so far from the full testing of 340 individuals subject to testing.
Meanwhile, the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency, Seoul City, and Gangnam-gu have decided to proactively respond by conducting twice-weekly retests on those who tested negative in the initial screening.
