There are already more than a million people infected with the coronavirus in the world, around 70,000 have lost their lives due to the disease and the economic impact is unpredictable. It’s also hard to keep track of events, but we try to keep our readers informed about everything. Stay tuned, read our series of articles.

The subject of the nursing home maintained in the capital, Pesti út, was discussed at the press conference of operating personnel on Friday. Here, national medical director Cecília Müller spoke of visiting the institution in person after it was revealed that 151 people in the nursing home were infected with the coronavirus and seven died.

On Thursday, the 126 infected were transferred from their homes to the Korányi Hospital, regardless of their medical condition, as older people may find that their condition deteriorates rapidly after the incubation period, and this must be detected early. This was the most effective measure for patient safety, said Cecília Müller.

Mayor Gergely Karácsony also had some comments on efficiency, which he expressed in a Facebook post. According to Christmas, it goes without saying that “where many elderly and sick people live together, the risk of spreading the epidemic is particularly high, as nursing homes, nursing homes, and homeless care are high-risk places. in all the country”.

The mayor emphasized that people could not return to such nursing homes and homeless care from hospitals without a negative virus test, but also claimed that hospitals had sent people to nursing homes and care for people. homeless in the capital that had not been analyzed.

Christmas wrote that he had sent several calls about the situation to the Minister of Health and the Medical Director more than a week ago, but had not received a response to the letters.

“As is the case in several European countries, Hungary should finally be able to cope with the immediate review of all nursing homes in the country in municipal, private and church-run institutions. The government has to deal with this because it is their job, “he wrote, adding that” instead of the government, the capital has begun to review its nursing homes on its own, with its own acquisitions, “what he said was an intervention. that saved lives.

Because it’s hard for me to think about what would have happened if we hadn’t started the screenings ourselves and stayed in public. Then we would not know that the elderly and sick contracted the infection, would they not be taken to the epidemic hospital and not receive life-saving treatment?
