He pointed out that the number of first and positive tests for coronavirus is increasing many times in that city.

“The situation in Niu is getting more complicated, and it is even more complicated when you consider that we are overwhelmed by difficult patients,” Jankovi said, adding that they currently have almost 170 patients, which is five times more than ten days ago.

He stated that the situation is still under control, but that a fire is expected in the next ten days.

He added that most of the Clinical Center in Niu still works in the green regime, that is, for invisible patients, adding that the greatest pressure is mainly in intensive and semi-intensive care, that is, for patients who threaten life.

“It’s something we’re used to, but we’re getting closer to the March stage and all that,” Jankovi said.

He stated that the Niue Clinical Center has 3,500 employees and that so far less than 150 of them have had corona, which, he says, were mostly infected outside of that health institution.

Jankovi said that currently the number of infected healthcare workers is in the single digits and the situation is being checked every day.

“We had a newly infected healthcare worker yesterday, but I think he will run out too,” Jankovi said.

He pointed out that the situation in Niu is much better than in other parts of Serbia, where there is drama, but that it will also be quite difficult there.

“In a few days, we will be there before the maximum examination. People are exhausted, this is taking too long and the burden has fallen mainly on the health workers themselves,” Jankovi said.

Due to the increase in the number of wounded, today a temporary kovid hospital, the “air” ward, was reopened in Niu, where, according to the coordinator of that hospital, Goran Mitrovic, patients with mild clinical symptoms will be accommodated.

He explained that the “air” room has 180 beds and that 20 doctors and 40 nurses will work there.

“Unlike the first wave of the epidemic in April, the room is now better equipped and heated,” Mitrovi said, adding that the hospital has ECG devices, a defibrillator, oxygen bottles …

As he pointed out, the first team of doctors who will see patients in the “air” room is now ready.
