I cannot doctors in the hospital, who have cases of people who they are hospitalized. ” in the hospital, who are in the ICU or in other wards, but have forms of manifestation, it is very difficult to monitor the health and evolution of the disease in patients with mild forms, and then the evolution of, including the healing or the appearance of new symptoms that do not require an emergency call, to 112. And here I believe that family doctors – especially since any citizen has a family doctor – I am convinced that the family doctor can intervene and, Obviously, he must be rewarded, based on the legislation on COVID-19, he must be rewarded for the activities they carry out in relation to their patients that are positive, “said the prime minister at the end of a visit to the Directorate of Public Health of Bucharest.

Thus, Orban specified that family doctors can monitor the health status of the respective patients, but they can also get involved in epidemiological investigations.
“Follow the state of health, see exactly the treatment, follow the evolution of each case. (…) I think that a family doctor could have the competence to do epidemiological investigations. After all, in these epidemiological investigations, from my point of view, speed is important, in fact, what do we follow through epidemiological investigations? Of course, we also want to know where the person was infected – as far as possible and remember – but we are especially interested in knowing who contacted so that they do not transmit the virus to the community, ”said Ludovic Orban.
