Nelu Tătaru: We know the legislation very well. Many of us should recap
The Minister of Health, Nelu Tătaru, declared this Wednesday that he requested an investigation in the case of the Elias Hospital, where medical personnel were diagnosed with COVID-19.
“Between September 16 and 22, three positive cases were confirmed to residents of a gynecology department, they were investigated. Today we ask you, who do not advertise the DSP, to initiate that investigation. Investigations are ongoing, there are also seven contacts who are negative to the test and are in quarantine.
We know the legislation very well. Many of us should recap. A positively confirmed case is announced by the DSP, it is presented in the hospital unit. He is asymptomatic, he has up to 48 hours in which to investigate, the treating doctor decides whether to continue the isolation in the hospital for which he must obtain approval from the DSP. The same treating physician, if he considers isolation at home, will request another opinion from the DSP that also indicates isolation at home.
Failure to follow these steps, disobey the law, we come to such cases. The DSP was announced today and today we will also see the investigations, ”said the minister.
He said that the medical unit conducted the epidemiological investigation with the hospital epidemiologist.
“They did an epidemiological investigation with the epidemiologist at the hospital and made the decisions. A decision is also made informing the public health direction, which initiates some investigations and we also have a report on the number of cases, as well as following that established route by law. It’s very clear from my point of view, “Tătaru also showed.
