ICU nurse, Jang Wok-Soon told the BBC: “The hardest thing is communicating.
“It makes you feel more anxious because of it.
“There is fear here.
“But I like to just think of them as our patients.
“And when you think of it that way, it’s not that scary.”
BBC Seoul correspondent, Laura Bicker, said: “It is, they tell me, incredibly heavy so that takes a toll during the shift.”
CONTAINED CHAOS
In the hospital there is a red line between the infected and uninfected area.
Bicker explains: “This red line is sacred, do not cross it without complete disinfection afterwards.”
