“The situation is tolerable, the number of patients is growing slowly. From 40 combat beds occupied 30, that’s two thirds approx.
However, the nine resuscitation beds that we currently have are almost all occupied, eight beds are occupied. So in resuscitation the situation is tense and we are thinking of expanding the number of resuscitation beds combat patients, ”said the director of the Santara clinics.
You will have to reduce scheduled services
According to F. Jankevičius, a reserve is provided, so there will be no shortage of beds for these patients. However, other patients may be affected: the number of scheduled services will decrease.
“The number of anesthesiologists and rescuers is the same, there are no more. And when we occupy combat patients need resuscitation, nursing. As a result, scheduled services will suffer somewhat, “F. Jankevičius told reporters.
Based on the growth we are seeing today, we believe the peak will be in September.
The director said that attempts were being made to reorganize the hospital in such a way that it was not necessary to reduce the number of those scheduled services.
Peak – coming soon
He also stressed that the peak of illness is expected to begin in September.
“So far, the situation is much better than in Klaipeda, our coast. Based on the growth we are seeing today, we think that the peak will be in September,” said the head of the Santara clinics.

“Virtually all patients are not vaccinated, with very rare exceptions, almost one hundred percent are not vaccinated. Perhaps they infected each other immediately after the second dose, when their immune response had not yet been accelerated, immunity did not develop.
Such a difference from last fall. And the patients are much younger than before, “said F. Jankevičius.
Virtually all patients are not vaccinated, with very rare exceptions, almost one hundred percent unvaccinated.
The delta variety dominates, it is determined by more than 90 percent. cases.
During the peak of the disease, the Santara clinics had three times as many resuscitation beds, but the director still hopes they won’t be available until now. And he attributes it to the fact that more and more people are getting vaccinated.
The director also stressed that the vast majority of doctors are vaccinated, which facilitates work planning.
Vilnius City Clinical Hospital has prepared 60 beds for COVID-19 patients, now there are about 40 patients. Other support hospitals in the Vilnius region are slowly filling up: in Ukmergė, Alytus, the number of beds and in Elektrėnai Hospital has increased.
F. Jankevičius stated that the situation in the Vilnius region seems more stable and calm than at the end of last summer. However, the example of the Klaipeda region is worrying.
Last day 560 new cases of coronavirus were detected in Lithuania, 4 people died from this infectious disease, the Department of Statistics reported on Tuesday.
