The Vila Nova de Gaia City Council has three spaces to receive covid-19 patients, ruling out the possibility of reactivating the field hospital of the Vila Nova de Gaia / Espinho Hospital Center, the mayor said today.

Right now I think a field hospital is out of the question because it is much easier to install one in spring / summer than in fall / winter.“Eduardo Vítor Rodrigues said at the end of the city meeting.

In return, he added, there is “the concession of spaces, such as the Casa do Bombeiro, in Aguda, or the accommodation center of the Biological Park and, where appropriate, the High Performance Center, in Lavandeira, to make way for the hospital. And then there is everything, toilets, heating, it is a building, not a tent“.

Emphasizing that it is up to the camera to “provide [espaços] and not putting people there “, a task that” corresponds to the health authorities, “the socialist mayor added that the Lavandeira facilities” have the capacity to put about 40 people “, a figure that grows” to another 12 “as a result of the offer in Sharp.

“We have a good municipal support structure and if there is a need, it will not only serve the people of Gaiense,” he said.

Regarding the high occupancy of the Vila Nova de Gaia / Espinho Hospital Center, Eduardo Vítor Rodrigues needed to be “also an occupation of the hospital system”.

“We have been receiving people from Peñafiel for 15 days [Hospital Padre Américo]. In other words, Gaia is the way it is, but it is not because of disability, it is because there is interdependence, since, if one day Gaia reaches the limit, it will be São João and Santo António who will receive it, and it is good that this is the case, “he said.
