Amid a continued decline in Covid-19 cases, Korea is transitioning its healthcare system to a new normal by expanding face-to-face treatment of patients and reducing monitoring of high-risk groups.
Korea’s Covid-19 case counts fell further over the weekend to the 6,000s while deaths plunged to the single digits.
The Dongho Residential Treatment Center, Korea’s largest Covid-19 quarantine facility for patients with mild cases, is closing, a milestone in the receding of the pandemic.
A woman in her 50s died at a Covid-19 residential treatment center, used for patients with mild symptoms, as there were too few nurses available to attend to an overload of patients.
A nursing shortage is growing in Korea as daily coronavirus cases continue to set new records.
