Six indicators will be the basis for decisions to establish local quarantine, said Secretary of State in the Health Ministry, Andreea Moldovan, after a meeting with representatives of the INSP, DSU and experts in public health. The indicators will be decided on Tuesday, after several simulations are carried out, he said.
“We all agree that, being such a dynamic infection and with so many changes during this year, the data we use requires a regular update or update. As a result, we think about which would be the most suggestive quarantine grid indicators for the epidemiological process, so that we know that the image that they will give us when they are calculated will be much closer to reality, “said Andreea Moldovan. .
“There are six indicators, we had two more variables in their interpretation, so we agreed that we will do simulations, and tomorrow at 1:00 p.m. we will meet to draw the final conclusion. There are rates of evolution, evolutionary trend, incidence rate, testing capacity, number of cases per territorial unit, with or without an outbreak. “There are some technical indicators,” Andreea Moldovan said.
Moldavan also said that more tests would be needed in the country, even in counties where fewer tests are currently being conducted, to have a situation as close as possible to the reality of the transmission of the coronavirus in the community.
On Sunday night on Digi24, Moldavan said that the congestion of the hospitals should be more important and the positive rate should be taken into account when deciding to establish the quarantine.
“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.
