As Stasys Skauminas, director of the Kėdainiai Hospital, informed “Rinkos aikštė”, the patient was taken to the hospital by ambulance yesterday afternoon due to his state of health. He had no complaints about the coronavirus, did not deny it, and did not contact sick or returning people from abroad.
“Yesterday, a resident of the Kėdainiai District was taken to the hospital, who had complaints about his health.
His age was 51 years, he did not experience any characteristic symptoms of the coronavirus, he did not have symptoms of colds, he did not go abroad, he denied contact with sick or isolated people.
As a result, she was admitted to a “clean” reception call, and continued to be investigated for her complaints.
However, according to the procedure, a COVID-19 test must be performed on anyone who enters the hospital.
She stayed with us for several hours, underwent a coronavirus test, and other tests showed that she needed the help of third-level specialists, so they took her to the Kaunas clinics. There, she too was admitted to a “clean” admission, and only then did the coronavirus test show a positive response.
So she was retested at the Kaunas clinics, which turned out to be negative this morning.
Both studies were studied in Kaunas, both in our sample and in the Kaunas clinics.
It is planned to repeat the exam for two days, ”said Stasys Skauminas, director of the Kėdainiai Hospital.
Doctors were isolated
All medical personnel who have had contact with a sick patient are currently in isolation.
“Four members of the medical staff at the K handainiai Hospital have been sent home, they are isolated while we await the response to the third coronavirus test.
If positive, staff will be isolated at home for two weeks. If negative, employees will return to work.
After receiving a response to the patient’s coronavirus test last night, the admissions department was closed for several hours, cleaned and disinfected.
During that time, patients who needed medical assistance were referred to Jonava.
“Currently, two employees are isolated: an ambulance driver and an emergency specialist.
Only the brigade carrying the infected patient was isolated.
Our employees always go to the calls fully prepared and using personal protective equipment, because they can never know where to go.
We hope that the employees have not been infected after all, although this situation reminds us that although the quarantine ended, the disease did not disappear, “said Audronė Rimkevičienė, Director of Kėdainiai PSPC.
Considered sick
Meanwhile, Sandra Buinovskienė, director of the Kėdainiai branch of the National Public Health Center of the Ministry of Health, stated that the Center does not yet have official data that the second test result carried out on the patient is negative. And although he says he has also heard that test responses differ, according to official data, the Kėdainiai district resident still considers himself ill.
“We have no official information about a negative test result. The system has so far written that the patient has coronavirus, an asymptomatic form.
After contacting the infectologists, it was decided that even though the patient did not experience any symptoms, she was considered a sick person and the procedure was the same as for those patients who experienced specific coronavirus symptoms.
Colleagues at Kaunas stated that there have been cases where the results of coronavirus tests performed one after another differ. Perhaps the fact that an asymptomatic has an effect, perhaps the method of taking the test itself has an effect. However, if the virus is confirmed in the laboratory, then it is.
We conducted an epidemiological study, collected contacts who contacted the person, and requested a list of medical personnel who contacted the patient.
We know that a woman visited the Kėdainiai City Mall a good week ago, but at that time there were still mandatory masks, so the risk of infection is very low.
As far as we know, she went to the doctors with a mask, gloves, doctors also used personal protective equipment, the tests performed on the patient were also those that did not require very close and prolonged contact, so the risk of infection for medical personnel it is also minimal “, Ramino S Buinovskiene.
Currently, the admission department is working again, ”said the director of the hospital.
Two employees of the Kėdainiai Primary Health Care Center were also isolated.
