The death of man occurs in the context of another black record in the development of the pandemic in our country. Doctors point out that the health system is already overloaded.
The 33-year-old man has been in home quarantine in relatively good condition for days. Until yesterday at noon, when it deteriorated sharply. He calls his brother, who comes to the front of the apartment. It does not go up immediately, but calls 112:
“And from there we started to wait … After an hour, an hour and something we called again to say that it was beginning to get worse,” said the brother of the deceased.
The ambulance managed to go to the address … 4 hours later.
“The signal was received at 6:41 p.m., we were at the scene at 22 hours and 28 minutes. Unfortunately, the team has determined the death of this young man, ”said CSMP spokeswoman Katya Sungarska.
