The registry also describes the decisions made regarding the organization of work of the Departments of Internal Medicine and Nursing:
“On the morning of May 30, patients from the Department of Internal Medicine were transferred to the Utena (2) and Panevėžys Republican (2) hospitals. The patients who feel better have been transferred to the Nursing Unit. The internal medicine department, like other hospital facilities, was disinfected. It is closed for a period of 14 days, after which decisions will be made according to the current situation.
Work in the hospital is organized into teams (doctor, 1 or two nurses, a nursing assistant, a cleaner). If a team member develops symptoms of COVID-19, the entire team would be replaced. The hospital uses the highest level of security.
Until June 4, staff entry into and out of the hospital have been particularly strict (temperature is measured, questionnaire completed) and they are advised to comply with more stringent quarantine conditions outside working hours. Information on the condition of patients will continue to be provided over the phone. “
