[KASC] Project Report

By Joo Young, Lee | Project Leader

1. Current Situation

South Korea lifted social distancing measures after about two years and one month.

From April 18 (Mon), all social distancing measures have been lifted.

The main contents of the distance adjustment announced by the government are as follows.

Business hours, Private gatherings, events and gatherings (299 people), other measures (religious activities, prohibition of indoor eating, etc.) will be lifted.

The government decided to discuss whether to adjust the mask -wearing after two weeks.

Of course, it is not a complete end to COVID-19, but our society is reviving again.

The number of confirmed cases, which exceeded 300,000 at the beginning of this month, fell to 47,000 yesterday.

2. Application Status

So far, we have provided medical masks (N-95) and patient masks (dental masks) to two hospitals (Seoul National University Hospital, Wonju Christian Severance Hospital),

screening facilities, living treatment facilities, and treatment sites.

The place of use is a medical institution, a screening station, and a living treatment facility.

Currently, in the case of medical institutions, support requests for severe and urgent patients related to COVID-19 have decreased.

The number of users of living treatment facilities decreased sharply. As a result, the number of facilities requesting support decreased sharply.

3. Conclusion

The improvement in Korea's COVDI-19-related situation is thanks to your sponsorship GlobalGiving and all of you.

Thanks again to everyone who supported the project.

And if there is no place to request additional support, we will contact GlobalGiving for the project to close.

thank you.

1. Status

On December 21, 2021, the number of confirmed cases of COVID-19 in South Korea exceeded 570,000 people.

Last week, there were 7,850 confirmed cases per day, the highest number since counting.

In the last report, I was reported that there were 1,784 confirmed cases per day. This time, the number of confirmed cases is 4.4 times the last time.

2. Solution

The purpose of this project is to support medical staff.

So far, we have provided intensive support to Seoul National University Hospital.

However, this time, KASC expandd the target area and applied to the necessary places first.

In the existing Seoul area, it was judged that all support was rushing in as there were many confirmed cases.

So KASC made contact with various.

And it was donated to Wonju Severance Christian Hospital.

Wonju is the place with the most daily confirmed cases in Gangwon-do.

Wonju Severance Christian Hospital started operating 4 single-person negative pressure isolation wards on February 23, 2020, and currently operates a total of 13 beds in 56 wards, 8 beds, and 5 beds in the emergency intensive care unit (EICU).

Wonju Severance Christian Hospital is at the forefront of responding to COVID-19.

The hospital is struggling to respond to COVID-19, and Gangwon-do also expressed gratitude with a separate award.

Those expenses will be used for medical staff in relation to the corona virus.

This support was centered on urgency.

3. Summary of results;

Unlike before, this support is not a specific project (eg medical masks, self-isolation, screening stations, etc.).

It will be determined and used by the hospital in an emergency related to COVDI-19.
