SLEMAN, KRJOGJA.com – Up to 53 health workers (nurses) at Dr. Sardjito General Hospital confirmed to be free of Covid-19 after swab or throat swab test results, Thursday (30 / 04/2020) today. Previously, healthcare workers had to undergo independent isolation and a throat swab test after a patient was treated infected by the husband, who also had a few days to wait in the hospital.
The Head of Law and Public Relations of Dr. Sardjito General Hospital, Banu Hermawan, revealed that all the results of the hyssop test had been published this Thursday night. 53 patients were confirmed negative for Covid-19 and would return to work as usual because it was shown that they were not infected by the treated patients.
“Previously, on Wednesday afternoon (04/29/2020), we obtained 41 test results consisting of specialist physicians and medical students that were negative. Tonight at 19:00 IWST we obtained results from 12 other workers in the health, with also negative results, “said Banu, Thursday (04/30/2020).
Banu admitted that previous health workers wore a standard PPE to treat patients as a preventive measure. Sardjito has also applied different examination routes for patients, including the initial evaluation.
“Our healthcare workers use PPE and apply sterilization standards even though they are not in isolation rooms. We continue to do the swab test in an effort to break the Covid-19 distribution chain,” he said again.
Sardjito previously expected patients to be honest with the conditions they faced, including contact or travel history. On the other hand, the medical team also hopes that people do not put a negative stigma on Covid-19 patients so that they do not cover up or are dishonest. (Fxh)
