Index – Domestic – Patients with transported coronaviruses do not worsen Budapest statistics



[ad_1]

After it became clear on Monday that all critically or severely coronavirus patients would have to be transported back to two metropolitan institutions, speculation began as to what might justify all of this.

Several people, including doctor-blogger Zsombor Kunetz and the mayor of Budapest, Gergely Karácsony, also raised or asked: can be As a result of centralization, the epidemic statistics in Budapest will deteriorate as there will be more infected and presumably more deaths in the capital again.

The operational court already denied in its briefing on Monday that the deaths transferred to Budapest would be counted according to the place of his death.

In Tuesday’s briefing, responding to the Index’s question, Police Officer RÓBERT KISS ALEZREDES also clearly stated that the infected are always registered by address in the operational tribe’s data feed.

Why are Budapest statistics important?

Although much of the country has already relaxed significantly last week due to strict curfew restrictions that went into effect on March 29, people living in the capital and Pest County can still leave their homes for good reason. , are still subject to the original bans.

Unlike residents of other counties, Pestians, for example, can only leave the county where they live if they go to their own properties. While restaurants, pubs, and cafes with gardens and terraces may reopen in the countryside, restaurants in the capital and Pest County will still be unable to serve guests locally. These differences can also create tension.

There will also be a problem with the fact that here, five kilometers away, we are doing what we want

For example, the Dömös bartender said in our report last week, where we analyzed the difference between two neighboring settlements, Dömös and Visegrád, which are now literally separated by the Pest county border.

At the moment, it is not possible to know exactly why the original restrictions remained in force only for Pest County, so we can only guess what it would take for relaxation to begin in and around the capital. Many believe that this mainly depends on the number of coronavirus infections and mortality statistics.

On Monday, Zoltán Kovács, Secretary of State for Communication and International Relations, also published on this. Kovács wrote:

A CONDITION FOR THE RESTART OF BUDAPEST IS TO REDUCE THE NUMBER OF DEATHS IN THE OLD HOUSES OF THE CAPITAL.

Mayor Gergely Karácsony also responded to this on Facebook, according to him, the position of Secretary of State is actually an admission that the government makes the decision to reopen Budapest on a political basis and not for professional reasons.

If not for the statistics, why?

National Medical Director Cecília Müller spoke Tuesday about why there needs to be centralization again now that people infected with coronavirus are being cared for at 35 different institutions across the country. According to him, the favorable results, that is, the stable indicator of new infections and the decrease in the number of people who need hospital care, created a situation that allowed the order of referral to change.

In the case of treatments that have already been started, patient care is not necessary, but they can also decide on a transfer with a telephone consultation in these cases.

According to the Medical Director, the objective of centralization is to ensure that the two designated institutions, the Central Hospital of South Pest and the Korányi, outside the number of people infected in other hospitals should not increase and therefore other care should be gradually restarted.

When Müller was asked when they could revisit non-infectious patients seen at the hospital, the chief physician also suggested that only coronavirus patients would be treated at the two priority institutions. Although Müller has not yet spoken about the date for the resumption of assistance, he said he is confident that we are not far from that.
