Asen Baltov staff: BNT
50 of Pirogov’s medical staff are infected with coronavirus, out of a total of 2,300 people who work at the hospital.
Pirogov is a hospital open to all. There is no way to establish a barrier. There are people who cannot even be said to have had contact with the virus.
Cases of infected medical personnel are a natural process in the work of the hospital itself.
This was announced to BNT by the director of the multidisciplinary hospital Prof. Asen Baltov.
We can preserve the capacity of the hospital. The hospital has great opportunities, we have limited the staff that is currently working. We have made it possible to free or free our older licensed colleagues. Young professionals are at the forefront, but they are not alone; behind them are their mentors who teach them.
This is not just a flu. A flu passes in 7-8-10 days, he added.
In 3 weeks “Pirogov” was restructured, prepared with personal protective equipment and equipment. It has 60 beds in the infectious disease clinic. There are around 4 million donations. He understands that it takes time to realize this potential, Professor Baltov said.
The virus will likely remain for at least another 6 months, there may be spikes, both the second and third. Hopefully the vaccine will be available soon, said the head of “Pirogov”.
The medical staff was a little careless that there was such an infection, they already know how to protect themselves.
We wear masks to protect others, not ourselves.
According to him, 4% per day of the respondents are positive samples per day, if the measures are further relaxed, this percentage will be at least 10.
Today is exactly 60 days from the night we intubated the first patient. A day earlier, her husband, whom no one thought had a coronavirus infection, had arrived, Professor Baltov recalled.
I have seen “Pirogov” like this only in situations where we expect a serious accident with, for example, 20 people and everyone is tense because they know that in the next hour they have to do everything possible. Now it’s the opposite: empty corridors, without patients, added the hospital director.
Expect details.
