Rescuers are finding it increasingly difficult to cope with the additional work of coronavirus testing in addition to rescue. In addition to the additional workload, more and more people are getting infected, there are stations where almost all the staff got sick: Zsolt Kusper, president of the Hungarian Ambulance Workers Association, spoke about this on the Radio Club’s Evening Fast program .
While the number of ambulances is declining due to infections, the number of patients and the need for testing is increasing, putting ambulances at an impossible task, Zsolt Kusper said on the show.
The main task of the National Ambulance Service is rescue. There are places where 12 to 24 hour services are dedicated to rescue tasks, others to testing, and there are ambulances that complete 12 hours and then volunteer for testing in their spare time.
Ambulances are exposed to infection despite protective equipment, in some stations almost everyone has contracted the infection, there are 15 people waiting to pass the test.
Zsolt Kusper would prefer to establish test points where people can go and also lead medical students.
What was said in the program, there is also a lack of evidence in the analysis, several of the few workers were quarantined.
On the 24th it discovered that since the outbreak of the coronavirus epidemic in Hungary, 1.5 percent of the personnel of the National Ambulance Service had a positive coronavirus test. Most of them have already overcome the infection, but have not been told how many tests they perform per day among their workers. Currently, less than one percent of the herd is in quarantine.
