For today, Tuesday, an “explosive” increase in cases is expected, since, according to information, these already exceed 2,200 at dawn, reaching nearly 2,300.
This number is cause for concern, although cases are usually high on Tuesdays. Infectious disease specialists, in fact, in their statements last week and over the weekend, spoke about the possibility of seeing up to 3,000 cases on Tuesday.
However, indicative of the criticality of the situation is the fact that in Coronavirus “Battle” Enterokay two private clinics with all your medical staff. As advertised the Minister of Health Vassilis Kikilias, voluntarily in the NSS pass the Peristeri Medicine and the LETO clinic will contribute to the “war” against the epidemic in our country.
For more strengthen the National Health System and in the context of continuous and constructive cooperation with the private sector, the Minister of Health announced that:
“From the first day of this unprecedented crisis, we act on the basis of a structured, realistic and dynamic plan, for the defense of Public Health.
In this context and now that Attica is receiving the greatest pressure since the beginning of the pandemic, we are implementing, as I have already announced, the emergency plan, join forces.
To strengthen it even more National system of health and in the context of ongoing and constructive cooperation with the private sector, I announce that:
The Athens Medical Club, by letter from its president, George Apostolopoulos, voluntarily grants ESY. Peristeri Medical Center, with all its medical, nursing, administrative and all kinds of personnel already providing services there.
Peristeri’s doctor will treat Covid cases from Thursday, March 11 and will be under the administration of the 2nd Health District.
The Hellenic Healthcare Group, by letter from its Managing Director, Dimitris Spyridis, voluntarily grants ESY. the LETO private clinic, with all its medical and administrative staff and all kinds of staff who already attend there.
The private clinic LETO will treat Covid cases from Thursday, March 11 and will be under the administration of the 1st Health District.
I thank you two Groups for their cooperation.
The Ministry of Health did, does and will continue to do whatever it takes“so that none of our fellow citizens is left without medical attention.”
The Professor of Cardiology, Vice President of the Athens School of Medicine, Mr. Gerasimos Siasos, told protothema.gr: “The decision of the Minister of Health to actively involve the private sector in the treatment of COVID-19 incidents is exceptional. Public hospitals, such as Attiko, Sotiria, Evangelismos, Ippokratio, Laiko, Alexandra and other large hospitals, had exceeded their resistance. We hope to get out of the tunnel soon. “.
The epidemiological picture
At the same time other 402 coronavirus patients In the last 24 hours they had to be admitted to hospitals in the country to treat the serious complications of the disease. In total, the patients amount to 3,758, with 960 be located in Intensive Care Units, Intensive Care Units, Special Infections.
More than a half, 216, yesterday they were admitted to their hospitals Attica, that carries” in the coronavirus epidemic in new cases (556 were confirmed yesterday), in active cases (more than 8,100), in intubated (the last report last night was 289) and in the dead (27 of the 39 deaths on Monday were declared in the basin).
The wide dispersion in Attica makes fun of her expert concern about mutations. The British executive is responsible for 90% of the cases in the basin, while in the last week they keep scientists and at least two new cases of the South African mutation located in hospitalized patients. Until now, the South African strain was localized, despite extensive sampling, mainly in the Thessaloniki area, they had been identified by one in Attica and Crete.
the 1,165 new cases of coronavirus, announced yesterday by the National Public Health Agency (ΕΟΔΥ), emerged from 6,995 rapid tests and 12,030 molecular tests and they are distributed in 61 Regional Units, which reflects the blurred panorama through the few tests and also the uncontrolled course of the coronavirus in the territory.
Attica is still very busy, in all its areas – indicatively yesterday there were 66 new cases of coronavirus in East Attica, 25 in West Attica, 83 in the North Sector of Athens, 85 in the West and 167 in the Center, 58 in the South Sector of Athens, 60 in Piraeus and 12 in the Islands.
The careful moves to strengthen the NSS in Attica
Consequently, the NSS in the basin remains under military siege, with the Ministry of Health and supervised bodies deploying the Emergency Plan for the management of the hundreds of patients who need daily hospitalization for coronavirus.
If one considers that Attica public hospitals have received a call to provide a bed and treat 1,795 patients due to covid-19 aloneWithin eight days, from March 1 to last night, he realizes the magnitude of the pressure on the NSS.
Given the high levels of cases registered from the end of February onwardsAs there have been no cases of serious illness and hospitalizations, administrations and medical personnel are on foot to attend to this large and next large volume of patients.
For this reason, as reported by protothema.gr, the administration of the 1st Health District proceeds with careful movements, safe for all patients and employees, in the “conversion” of another hospital – except for “Sismanogleio” – in a hospital exclusively for the treatment of coronavirus cases. This is the General Hospital of Oncology “Agioi Anargyroi” that by the next week will have been evacuated and will be able to provide at least 100 beds for patients with covid-19.
From tomorrow enter their vigils YOU in Attica the hospital “Henry Dunant” that will replace the “Sismanogleio”, which will now be a reference hospital exclusively for coronavirus, like “Sotiria”. In total, 301 beds will be available and there are plans to develop multifunctional ICUs in operating rooms and recovery rooms.
Remember this week experts estimate intubation will increase by 200, dramatically raising the pressure on Intensive Care Units.
Yesterday the number of intubated was 471 in total, number too high in any case. 61% of those intubated are in Attica. The 32% that affected intubated people aged 40 to 64 years on February 8 now amounts to around 37% while, conversely, in the same period those aged 65 and over decreased from 66% to 61.5% .
The end, the 39 new deaths in the last 24 hours that raised the report for the first 8 days of March to 293, are accompanied by another hard element in the relevant EODY table: the death of the second minor in our country, such as the 37 day baby who was hospitalized in the Children’s “Aglaia Kyriakou” since February 18 ended the day before yesterday, being the youngest victim of the pandemic in the country. A 16-year-old girl has also been hospitalized in Thebes.
