Hungary will send 150 fans to the Czech Republic, Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babiš announced on Twitter on Twitter. Czech firefighters will take over the ventilators and for the time being they will be placed in the deposits of the state reserve fund. From there, they are transported to hospitals if necessary.
Czech authorities said on Thursday that Prague had asked the European Union and NATO member states for help to combat the rapid spread of the coronavirus epidemic.
Andrew Babiš said Thursday, also on Twitter, that the European Commission will send 30 fans from its own reserves. During the day, the Prime Minister spoke by phone with Ursula von der Leyen, the chairwoman of the committee, who also promised to ask the other EU member states to offer their free health capabilities to Czechs.
Czech Defense Minister Lubomír Metnar said NATO would decide on Friday to send 60 fans from the organization’s reserves to the country.
According to the latest statistics, Czech hospitals in 1932 had a special ventilator that can be used to treat Covid-19 disease. Currently 52 percent of the machines are in use. One week, the Czech government ordered 500 new fans worth 250 million crowns (3.375 million guilders).
Additionally, a respirator has been developed in the Czech Republic that can be used to help Covid-19 sufferers breathe. So far about 200 of these devices have been manufactured.
The Czech government approved on Thursday the arrival of 300 medical servicemen from EU and NATO member states to help the country. The government’s decision will even have to be approved by parliament, which will likely take place next week.
The United States has already responded to the Czech request by sending 28 National Guard doctors and health workers who already have specific experience in treating Covid-19 to the Czech Republic. These military doctors are expected to arrive in the Czech Republic by the end of next week and will work with doctors from the Prague Military Hospital.
