According to her, approaching the limit of the filling of patients in the capital’s institutions, hope is placed on the Alytus Hospital, which promised to expand the squares of COVID-19, and on the Švenčionys District Hospital, which is ready to receive new patients, but a coronavirus outbreak has been established here.
“We have enough beds, as I say, for today, about 30 with a little. However, we have to expand in Alytus, the question is tomorrow and about the Švenčionys district: specialists went to assess the situation whether they will be able to open. The situation is changing, it can be said, every day, but today in our entire region there are enough, but enough staff, “said one of the clinic managers.
The situation is changing, so to speak, every day, but today in our entire region of workers with slight tension, but enough.

“I really am completely calm all day. Between 20 and 24 patients are hospitalized per day, so the beds should be sufficient. We will see below that tomorrow, as I mentioned, Švenčionys Hospital should start, 32 places are planned for the first stage, ”said A.Bilotienė Motiejūnienė.
According to her, 20-25 new patients are admitted per day, their average age is about 60 years, that is, older patients with other diseases predominate, but there are also some children or young people over 20 years of age.
The deputy director of the clinics also noted that about 60 percent. patients in the Vilnius region lie in oxygen masks, so they are quite heavy and require attention.
As staff dwindled, Santara Clinics has been using students from the Vilnius University Medical School since Friday; they are urgently trained and work as nursing assistants, and Vilnius College students are planned to be asked for help.
Santara Clinics also hopes to improve some of its scheduled services, so new medical jobs are needed on an ongoing basis.
“Today there is no such sign of SOS, but we are in constant debate, because who is sick, who is in self-isolation: There were 71 people in self-isolation on Friday and about 50 patients, somewhere more than 120 have COVID-19. But there are other diseases. But let’s save having a residence base, there are neighbors who agree and want to work, but there are constant negotiations, “he emphasized.
A spokeswoman for the Santara clinics said that even in an emergency, hospitals would seek additional resources by abandoning scheduled services “that would not cause inconvenience or bring additional health problems to people.”
