The first test is positive, the second test is negative.
“This information does not correspond to the current situation (it is not yet clear if the woman is really infected with this infection), her first test was really positive, but the second negative, so we are waiting for the results of the third test” .
I want to avoid any interpretation and speculation on this subject, even by high-ranking health professionals, until it is completely clear whether a woman is sick or not, “writes R. Malinauskas on his Facebook account.
According to information available to the mayor, a mandatory COVID-19 test was performed on Friday at Druskininkai Hospital with a child according to the current procedure. The child’s result was negative, and the mother’s test was late and positive.
“Since we already have a bitter experience at Druskininkai due to unreliable results from the COVID-19 test, we ran another test to make sure that no errors occurred. The result is negative.
Currently, a woman is isolating herself at home with her son and husband. They were retested for COVID-19.
I want to reassure the community: the woman’s family had no contact with the people of Druskininkai, she did not attend the city festival and the doctors who visited her in the hospital are also isolated, “writes the mayor.
The mayor assures that “we have a very difficult situation with the National Center for Public Health.”
“Even when it became clear that the first case of coronavirus detected in Druskininkai had not been confirmed, we were still included in the coronavirus statistics; it took us a long time to explain that we were finally excluded from it.”
Now the same situation is repeated: it is not yet clear if the woman is really ill, and the Druskininkai National Center for Public Health has already included her in the general statistics without expecting anything.
Also, their specialists did not want to perform additional tests this time and we were forced to explain why we performed them arbitrarily.
The impression is that the National Center for Public Health cares about statistics, not pandemic management.
The question remains open: who is interested in increasing the number of cases, not the actual statistics?
In this case, I am categorical: we will carry out as many tests as necessary to discover the real situation and protect our people and the guests of the resort, “writes R. Malinauskas.
Hospital work is not disruptive
According to Ginreta Megelinskienė, Head of the Infectious Disease Management Division of the Vilnius Department of the National Center for Public Health, only 18 contact persons were identified at the hospital, three contact persons in the social setting in Alytus County, as well like at least four contact people in Vilnius.
“The connection of this person or his relatives with known chimneys in Vilnius County is suspected. There have been no cases reported in Alytus County for some time, so it is likely that the infection may have occurred in Vilnius County, ”said the public health specialist.
Jurgita Matuliauskienė, Acting Chief of Druskininkai Hospital 15 minutes reported that the virus had been detected in the person accompanying the child to the hospital.
“In fact, the 15 doctors, the hospital staff who have been in contact, are currently in self-isolation, but the work of the hospital is not interrupted because it is reorganized and organized so that activities are not interrupted,” he said.
According to the acting manager, very clearly identified people who have had contact, some have longer contact, others are shorter.
“Everyone wore personal protective equipment during contact, but according to the recommendations, their self-isolation is necessary. They are 15 and are in self-isolation, “he said.
