A 90-year-old man on hemodialysis who died last week was responsible for the Covid-19 outbreak in an illegal home in Gondomar, Mayor Marco Martins told Lusa. Twenty-one users and eight employees of the Paródias e Ternuras house in Gondomar tested positive for covid-19 after the outbreak was detected Friday night, and nine more users tested negative, the mayor said.

“The origin was an elderly man at home who was on hemodialysis and passed away last week”, Marco Martins said, noting that the municipality was “informed in the morning of the outbreak and the results of the tests they were subjected to on Monday.” Marco Martins reported having met during the afternoon with “the Municipal Civil Protection Service, home management, Social Security and the Gondomar health delegation to define strategies and procedures.”

The home management gave us a note that they had already physically separated the positives and the negatives, and the camera streamlined the contacts between the Employment Center and the home to try to replace infected employees as soon as possible, ”he reported.

And he continued: “The address of the address indicated that we already have two people ready to go to work and that they have gone to do, however, the covid-19 test”, so the next few hours and Wednesday morning, as for caregivers, they are insured ”. The Gondomar health delegation, said the mayor, “has already contacted people with whom the elderly who tested positive were in contact, and who will reside, at least the majority, in Valbom, to put them in isolation , avoiding the focus spread ”.

Marco Martins said that he had not received an indication of the address of the house of “overcrowding”, but the assurance that “it separated the positives from the negatives.”

Lusa, on the spot, attempted a reaction from the homeowners, but it was not possible.
