[Photo] In-Person Visits Allowed at Nursing Hospitals Starting Today

On the morning of the 1st, at Seonhanbit Nursing Hospital in Gwangju-si, Gyeonggi Province, where in-person visits became possible if either the patient or the visitor has completed the COVID-19 vaccination, husband Kim Chang-il (83) is having an in-person visit with his wife, Mrs. Koo (77). From today, nursing hospitals and care facilities allow in-person visits if either the patient or the visitor has completed vaccination. However, in facilities where the first-dose vaccination rate of residents and staff is below 75%, visitors must undergo a COVID-19 test in advance and confirm a negative result. /Photo by Joint Press Corps
