[Asia Economy Reporter Park Hyesook] Incheon City has signed an agreement with Incheon National University to use Dormitory 1 in order to secure stable beds for the residential treatment center, and will begin full-scale operation from the 23rd.

The Incheon National University Residential Treatment Center has 195 rooms and can accommodate 390 patients.

In accordance with the government's basic principle of home treatment, it operates for patients who are excluded from home treatment, such as those living in vulnerable residential environments to infection, children or disabled persons who require care but cannot be isolated with caregivers.

The number of residential treatment centers in the Incheon area has increased to seven, including Incheon National University, Yeongjongdo Police Training Center, SK Muui Training Center, and Crystal Hotel in Seo-gu, accommodating a total of 1,486 patients.

Facilities of private companies, such as Cheongna Hana Global Training Center and Songdo POSCO Talent Creation Center, whose use was scheduled to end by the end of this year, have also agreed to extend their operation and will continue to be operated.

Mayor Park Namchun plans to inspect quarantine sites such as residential treatment centers including Incheon National University and the Health and Environment Research Institute on the upcoming Christmas.

An official from Incheon City stated, "By additionally securing residential treatment centers, it is expected that stable operation of residential treatment centers will be possible compared to other metropolitan cities and provinces despite the sharp increase in COVID-19 cases."
