ABSTRACT
Community Treatment Centers (CTC) have been set up in South Korea to quarantine and treat corona virus infectious diseases-19 patients with mild symptoms. CTCs have been shown to be successful in their managements. However, recent incidences of patient deaths due to mismanagement at CTCs have raised concerns and prompted the need to re-examine their administration. The problems with CTCs include failure to monitor patients, failure to recognize emergencies, rapid transfer of patients to hospitals, and increasing fatigue of medical staff. It is necessary to enhance patient safety measures at CTCs by establishing a stronger patient monitoring system, swifter hospital transfer process, and faster response to emergencies.
