In addition to recent coronavirus data, which we write more about here and here, Cecília Müller also reported that the number of new cases on Monday morning did not reach the weekend record, but showed a significant improvement in the number of people recovered in 8,777.
As you said, a person who has been asymptomatic for 3 days and it has been at least 10 days since the appearance of the first symptoms is considered cured. Since a significant proportion of patients recover at home, a quarantine release laboratory test is no longer required. Whoever has received treatment in the hospital, it is more important for the treating physician to decide if they are cured. In this case, you should be tested when you return to a protected community.
In addition to PCR assays, the use of rapid antigen assays significantly reduced the time until the assay was performed.
Of the 1648022 tests carried out so far, 10,900 were rapid tests
Cecília Müller, National Chief Physician, said. According to him, this is also important because it accelerates the rotation of the bed, reduces the number of patients in unknown state and speeds up care.
Results from the nationwide testing, which began last week, will be released tomorrow. In relation to the periodic tests, he drew the attention of interested parties to the fact that nothing, not even water, should be consumed 2-3 hours before the scheduled sampling date.
He also mentioned that the government will decide these days which disease control rules can approve Christmas.
According to Cecília Müller, the number of hospitalized patients is still significant, 7734, but the number of people on the ventilator is stable. According to him, there is a kind of slow improvement, the rise of the epidemic curve is slowing down.
The concept of an epidemic hospital can no longer be interpreted in current circumstances, currently 78 institutions are involved in the care of patients with coronavirus, said Cecília Müller in response to a question. All institutions participated in the care of patients with coronavirus. He also spoke about the workload of hospital workers, which was alleviated with the cessation of elective surgeries, that is, planned. He reiterated that hospitals are prepared for the second wave from a technical point of view, in terms of protective equipment and ventilators.
In addition to the University of Debrecen institutions, Semmelweis University, Szabolcs County and Borsod County Hospitals, as well as the South Pest Center Hospital, were mentioned among the most burdened.
Regarding the shopping time zone for the elderly, Cecília Müller strongly asked those interested to take advantage of this opportunity to protect themselves or ask a younger relative to go shopping. He also emphasized that everyone should continue to pay close attention to compliance with individual protection measures, as this is the only way to avoid medical care overload.
