Alarming statistics
Faced with this epidemiological reality, the president of the Disaster Management Committee of the Tripoli City Council, Ing. Jamil Jablawi, held a press conference in which he spoke about the evolution of the spread of the Corona virus, in the Management Operations Room of Disasters – Crisis Cell, at King Fahd Park in Tripoli, in the presence of the Deputy Mayor. Ing. Khaled Al-Wali, member of the Ahmed Al-Badawi Council and representatives of the media.He added: “The results of the contact examination in the Tripoli district of every 100 tests are about 25 positive results, and the source is the epidemiological surveillance team of the Tripoli Ministry of Health.”
After calculating an estimate of the number of people who had contact with the 39,000 injured and the rate of 25%, we find that the number of injured in the Tripoli district is in the tens of thousands. Based on the above, we have entered the stage of a community epidemic and are moving rapidly towards what is known as herd immunity, in light of the lack of commitment of a large number of our people in Tripoli to preventive measures. .
Shy support
He said: “I regret that despite this reality, the Ministry of Health did not serve Tripoli in proportion to the size of the city and the level of the Corona epidemic in it, so its support to face the Corona epidemic in Tripoli he is still shy and does not go beyond raising a reproach. In the last visit of the Minister of Health (in the interim government) Dr. Hamad Hassan, to the Tripoli Brigades, he provided 10 thousand masks to distribute in Tripoli. As if Tripoli It was a small town. We find it difficult to find a family for Corona patients who have severe symptoms. An example of this is a 70-year-old patient with Corona and severe symptoms. She stayed 5 days at home and was not assured a bed despite that his temperature was 40 degrees. So far, there are 32 beds available for the entire Tripoli district. The respirators are less than the number of fingers assigned to the crown. “
He added: “His Excellency the Minister, the quantities of KITs available for the PCR test for Tripoli are very few, one point in Bahr al-Hujra. Less than 1000 per month. The Ministry of Health PCR testing machines serve Tripoli and the neighborhood, there are only two, one non-pump. Corona patients in Tripoli pay 10 percent. The cost of hospitalization. Plans to contain the Corona epidemic have become useless to remember. The epidemic is It has become a social epidemic in Lebanon, and we are rapidly entering the so-called herd immunity.
The danger is that this is done with the cold and the seasonal cold, and the immune weakness that goes with it. “
Lost uptime
He stressed that “preparedness is now measured by the number of hospital beds, intensive care rooms, medical equipment, PCR examination, medical and nursing staff and the number of quarantine places.” He called on the Minister of Health to “ensure preparation at the minimum level to face the repercussions of herd immunity in the Tripoli district through at least 1,000 hospital beds designated for Corona patients as the first stage and 100 patient care rooms. of Corona as a first stage, transforming the entire Government Hospital of Tripoli into a medical center for the treatment of Corona patients. With the exception of the maternity department and the neonatal care department, and supporting it with medical and nursing staff, the necessary medical equipment, medical supplies, etc. The approval of other support hospitals in the Tripoli district is required, in coordination with the private hospital administrations. This will ensure fewer than 170 beds. And the establishment of a field hospital or more. Prepare for herd immunity at the Rashid Karami International Fair with a capacity of 830 beds and 70 care rooms, and increase the quarantine capacity in the hotel from the exhibition to 350 patients. And prepare for the use of the Rashid Karami International Exhibition to quarantine large numbers in case of rapid spread of the virus. PCR test, minimum 5,000 per month, which can be increased An additional device to test PCR and an Extractor for the Laboratory of Microbiology Health and Environment, Faculty of Public Health One nation at the Lebanese University of Tripoli. Additional PCR test device and extractor device for the government hospital in Tripoli. The speed in the issuance of results is a fundamental part of the plan to face the spread of the Corona pandemic.
He concluded: “The aforementioned is the minimum and as a first stage. It was based on a reality study carried out by various specialists from the Disaster Management Committee, the Crisis Cell in Tripoli and the Crisis Cell in the Tripoli District. It was previously presented to the Ministry of Health, the Disaster Management Committee in the governorate, and not assuring the above, will leave the Tripoli district exposed to this great spread of the COVID 19 pandemic.
