Among domestic medical personnel, the cumulative number of confirmed cases of COVID-19 has more than doubled compared to three months ago.

 

Out of a total of 321,352 COVID-19 confirmed patients as of 0 o'clock on the 5th, 5,444 were medical personnel or medical institution workers.

 

On the 12th, Choi Yeon-sook of the People Party made this announcement through data submitted by Central Disease Control Headquarters.

 

According to the data, the cumulative number of confirmed patients of medical personnel (doctors, nurses, dentists, and oriental medicine doctors) increased from 977 as of 0 o'clock on July 6 to 1,861 as of 0 o'clock on July 5, up 884 (90.5%).

 

About half (47.5%) of the confirmed medical personnel who have occurred in about a year and nine months since the first confirmed case came out in Korea in January last year have been confirmed in the past three months.

 

The fourth pandemic of COVID-19 since July seems to have affected the confirmation of medical staff.

 

Dentists and oriental doctors with relatively little contact with COVID-19 confirmed patients increased slightly compared to three months ago (13% for dentists and 12% for oriental doctors), but the cumulative number of confirmed patients more than doubled (158%) from 213 to 550.

 

The number of nurses also increased 78.4% from 685 to 1,222 during the same period.

 

As of 0 o'clock on the 5th, out of a total of 321,352 COVID-19 confirmed patients, a total of 5,444 medical personnel or medical institution workers were counted.

 

This is the status of COVID-19 confirmed patients reported to the KDCA Corona Information Management System.

 

According to the status of COVID-19 infection by medical personnel, 550 doctors, 61 dentists, 28 oriental doctors, 1,222 nurses, 894 nursing assistants, 423 nursing care workers, 85 clinical pathologists, and 2,181 others were confirmed.

 

Others included physical therapists, radiologists, pharmacists, emergency medical technicians, medical recorders, and dental hygienists.
