“It is hard to believe that we will not reach 5,000 new cases of infection per day.” This is what Professor Alexandru Rafila, member of the Executive Committee of the World Health Organization, says.
The expert believes that a change in the evaluation strategy of patients with SARS VOC-2 and the health units in which they are hospitalized is imminent. He also believes that people should go to work after late hours to limit the spread of the new coronavirus. Today, Romania has surpassed a total of 150,000 cases across the country.
A 62-year-old orthopedic doctor from the capital’s Bagdasar-Arseni Hospital and the principal of the Mihai Eminescu College in Suceava were killed by the new coronavirus.
In total, 5,358 people have died since the start of the health crisis. The list of deaths will be even longer as the number of illnesses increases, health experts say.
And at the moment we are talking about an extended community transmission, therefore, the authorities should already think about applying other restrictive measures, says Professor Alexandru Rafila.
Prof. Dr. Alexandru Rafila, member of the WHO Executive Committee: “Open discussion with employers to regulate tiered programs, to avoid congestion in large cities. Transportation should take these program arrangements into account and they would have a favorable impact.”
At the same time, a change in health strategy would be necessary.
Currently, according to the legislation, a person diagnosed with SARS VOC-2 must go to a health unit for evaluation. Investigations can last up to 48 hours, during which time you are hospitalized. The large number of patients has left some hospitals without places, not only in intensive care units, but also in wards, so experts assure that asymptomatic patients should be monitored from home so that they are no longer a burden on the healthcare system.
Prof. Dr. Alexandru Rafila, member of the WHO Executive Committee: “It is necessary to identify new medical units to house infected people, new spaces in multidisciplinary hospitals that have ATI and at least in some separate circuits for infected / uninfected patients.”
Otherwise, the healthcare system runs the risk of suffocation.
On the other hand, Prime Minister Ludovic Orban was today on a visit to the Bucharest Public Health Directorate and specified that improvements have been made to the system, so that all those who need advice can get in touch with the inspectors more easily. DSP.
In the last 24 hours alone, 1,290 people called TELVERDE to request information. Another 80 requested ambulance support.
