The medical director of the “Victor Babeş” Hospital in the capital, Simin Florescu, draws attention to the fact that there is a tendency for some patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 to ignore the signs of the disease, writes News.ro.

“It is so obvious how serious this disease can be that it is good not to neglect the idea of ​​disease, not to neglect the idea of ​​transmissibility. Go to the family doctor at least if they suspect they have been infected. and not neglect the appearance of the later transmission ”.

Because this is a new trend, to deny their own symptoms, to say “I don’t try because I don’t have it” or “I don’t want to think I have it”, and unfortunately, instead of isolating themselves and trying to prevent it from being transmitted, they do everything the opposite and continues the activity in the community as if nothing, even without a mask, which means denying the disease. These are the most suspicious cases to transmit, ”said Dr. Simin Florescu.

He said that hospitals in recent weeks have reached the “peak” in terms of the number of patients.

“In recent weeks we have reached a peak. Basically, we are in constant agitation to find places for patients who need a lot of oxygen, to hospitalize patients who come to emergency rooms with serious general condition, alone or brought in ambulances, so that in addition to all the beds are occupied, including the outside room of Pipera, we also have the consultation sofas in the guard rooms full of patients that we continue to wait with oxygen in the consultation until we find a place in the hospital “, specified the doctor.

Regarding the cases of contagion among medical personnel, Simin Florescu explained that such cases occurred at the “Víctor Babeş” Hospital, especially in the first two months of the epidemic, March-April, when they finished treating the patients, the staff doctor “socialized, not realizing that the virus can be transmitted very easily outside the hospital.”

He said there were no serious cases of infection among hospital staff.
