This study describes the epidemiological characteristics of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) based on reported cases from long-term care facilities. As of April 20, 2020, 3 long-term care facilities in a metropolitan area of South Korea had reported cases of COVID-19. These facilities' employees were presumed to be the sources of infection. There were 2 nursing hospitals that did not report any additional cases. One nursing home had a total of 25 cases, with an attack rate of 51.4% (95% CI 35.6-67.0), and a fatality rate of 38.9% (95% CI 20.3-61.4) among residents. The results from this study suggest that early detection and maintenance of infection control minimizes the risk of rapid transmission.
本研究基于长期护理机构报告的病例描述了2019冠状病毒病（COVID-19）的流行病学特征。截至2020年4月20日，韩国一个大城市地区的3家长期护理机构报告了COVID-19病例。这些机构的员工被推测为感染源。有2家护理医院未报告任何新增病例。一家养老院共有25例病例，居民的罹患率为51.4%（95%可信区间35.6 - 67.0），病死率为38.9%（95%可信区间20.3 - 61.4）。本研究结果表明，早期检测和维持感染控制可将快速传播的风险降至最低。
