‘I have never seen so many deaths’: Miami nurse recounts tragedy of coronavirus in the ICU – National | Globalnews.ca

Their final breaths are tormented. Rublas Ruiz has seen too many of them — the last gasps of 17 men and women who died of the coronavirus.

A 41-year-old ICU nurse in Miami’s Kendall Regional Medical Center, Ruiz has witnessed the desperate, pleading, wide-eyed, barely-there gasps.

“The fear in their eyes when they can’t get enough air. They are so scared,” he says, quietly. “Their eyes are big, desperate to get the oxygen and that makes me so sad.”

South Korea enforces stricter lockdown measures to stem coronavirus spread | Euronews

The government has already imposed elevated social distancing measures in Seoul this week after resisted them for months out of economic concerns.

Churches had been a major source of new cases in the Seoul area before authorities shut them this week.

Nightclubs, karaoke bars, buffet restaurants and computer gaming cafes in the greater capital region have also closed and spectators are banned again from baseball and soccer games, just weeks after teams had been allowed to sell portions of their seats.

The same measures will apply nationwide from Sunday, although Park said local governments will be permitted to exercise some level of flexibility, such as advising business shutdowns rather than enforcing them, if infections are low.

South Korea expands social distancing rules as coronavirus outbreak grows

SEOUL (REUTERS) – South Korea said tougher social distancing guidelines to curb the spread of coronavirus will be rolled out nationwide from Sunday (Aug 23) as it battles a new outbreak of the disease spreading from the capital, Seoul.

The Korea Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (KCDC) reported 315 new domestic coronavirus infections as of midnight on Friday, the latest in a string of triple-digit increases in new local cases which take the country’s tally to 17,002 with 309 deaths.

South Korea used advanced contact tracing and widespread testing to contain its first outbreak of the novel coronavirus, but Asia’s fourth-largest economy has experienced persistent outbreaks in recent weeks, mostly in and around densely populated Seoul and the surrounding areas.

In Seoul and some surrounding cities, the government has reimposed social distancing rules, including restricting large gatherings, banning in-person church meetings while closing nightclubs, karaoke bars, buffets and cyber cafes.

The same guidelines will be imposed on other areas across the country effective from Sunday.

However, in some areas with fewer infections, the guidelines would be recommended rather than obligatory.

“If we don’t curb the spread (of the virus) in early stages, this will grow as a large-scale wave. To us, there is nothing more important than focusing on responding to Covid-19,” Health Minister Park Neung-hoo told a briefing on Saturday.

The Health Ministry also said it was postponing its decision to pursue policies boosting the number of medical students until the Covid-19 situation stabilises.

Thousands of South Korean doctors have staged strikes and protests over government plans to train new doctors, saying there are enough doctors but better conditions and systems are needed to properly allocate them.
