The Minister of Health, Enrique Paris, once again showed his concern at the imminent second wave of coronavirus infections, anticipating that this Monday “we have presented the President of the Republic, Sebastián Piñera, an emergency plan with three possible strategies“.
Along these lines, the Health Minister acknowledged that “we are very concerned about the second wave, we have even had to transfer patients from other regions. I think it is a reality and it has happened in other countries, and with much more force than the first wave. “.
Strategies for the second wave: “The staff is tired”
Regarding the strategies that the plan would have to combat the second wave of covid-19, Paris indicated that they will take as an example what happened in Europe in relation to what happened in France, also in relation to the gigantic increase in cases as happened in the States United, or there is stability.
“We want to put ourselves in the most complex situation, that means increasing the number of beds we had in the worst period of the pandemic by more than a thousand beds. If we take the European model, we will have to increase by 400 beds,” said Paris.
However, he warned that “the staff has to be adapted, it has to be supported, we have to look for people who can act as replacement because the staff is exhausted, how do we avoid this? With the collaboration of the people.”
“We are prepared, we have the fans, we have the number of beds, we have the equipment, but the staff is tired, exhausted and we have to recognize that. So I ask for the maximum collaboration to avoid a second wave,” he said.
