It is difficult to supply and receive caregivers to take care of the elderly in isolated nursing homes or in self-isolation in the same group.
The Guro-gu nursing hospital, which was heavily caring due to group quarantine, also requested a caregiver from the quarantine authorities, but only two people were supported.
In preparation for a group infection, the Seoul Metropolitan Government is also recruiting about 200 nursing care professionals, but the number of applicants is only 90, which is said to be insufficient.

It is said that the supply and demand of caring personnel at Corona 19 treatment facilities is insufficient.

Yes, it is a nursing hospital where the cumulative number of confirmed patients, including residents and employees, increased to 233 due to group infection.
After cohort quarantine, there was once a great shortage of manpower to care for older patients.
Caregivers, including nursing care guards, left the hospital, and more than 70 people, including medical staff and administrative staff, even took care of 140 elderly patients.
The hospital said that it was virtually impossible to shift considering the manpower situation, and there were several cases where the medical staff fell after working for as long as 48 hours.
Efforts were made to secure additional personnel, but recruitment was difficult.
Guro-gu asked the Central Accident Control Center last month to support 20 nurses and caregivers each, but only two caregivers were available.
The ward office also tried to recruit 30 nursing assistants and caregivers separately, but there were no applicants.
Fortunately, the district office said that the infection situation has subsided at the current Smile Nursing Hospital, and all confirmed patients have been transferred to hospital beds, which has reduced the demand for care.
He explained that there is no plan to recruit caregivers because a nursing assistant and others are taking care of the patients together.
As a whole, the supply and demand of caregivers is still serious.
The Seoul Metropolitan Government has organized’emergency care workers’ to support cohort quarantine facilities, corona 19 treatment facilities, or dedicated nursing care workers to the elderly or severely disabled in self-isolation.
Recently, group infections have continued in nursing homes and living facilities for the disabled, so it was planned to recruit more than 200 caregivers in addition to the existing manpower.
However, the actual number of applicants was only 90.
An official from the city of Seoul said that it is necessary to secure a manpower of 300 people in order to stably respond to group infections.
He explained that the lack of manpower will be recruited through regular recruitment.
