The Ministry of Health wants to change the criteria for entering quarantined localities. Experts have realized that the incidence of cases is highly evidence-dependent and that when little is tested, the incidence is low, but this does not actually present the real situation. Tomorrow, the ministry will call DSP and INSP for consultations. The intention is that the agglomeration of hospitals will matter more and take into account the positive rate, said Andreea Moldovan, secretary of state in the Ministry of Health, in Digi24.
“What we want to discuss is that this quarantine grid, or quarantine point, is done correctly, unequivocally, to take into account some indicators that even affect the decision. For example, there is an indicator of saturation, load of intensive care units, which has a rather low score. Here, if you see that you have 1400 therapy places and a large part are occupied, it is a moment of total alarm, ”said Moldavan.
“I would also like to present an indicator that shows us the degree of proof, because we know that we would need around 500 tests per 100,00 people to be able to have a statistically significant picture of what is happening in the population. Or there are counties where we don’t have this amount of evidence, “he added.
