The number of new coronavirus cases in Serbia continues to increase and hospital capacities are filling up rapidly, and during the last night, Belgrade patients with covid symptoms were sent to hospital in the surrounding places: Smederevo, Mladenovac and Pozarevac.
In the last 24 hours, 2,112 new cases of coronavirus were confirmed in 8,299 people tested and 10 people died. 2,549 people were hospitalized and 106 patients on ventilators in hospitals across Serbia.
Tonight, Dr. Kon presented alarming data that at this time between 10 and 20,000 Belgraders are transmitting the corona virus.
The kovid temporary hospital in the Belgrade Arena has received 120 patients in the last three days, and its total capacity is approximately 510 places. There are currently 360 patients.
One of those who was there for 11 days is Ivan Andrić, he shared the experience he had on his Twitter profile, so according to him, it could be useful for someone.
– Two weeks ago (Monday) I had a fever. It wasn’t big (up to 38) but it pretty much broke me. On Tuesday I gave blood on the doctor’s recommendation. As I expected that maybe kovid on Wednesday, I was in an infectious exam (because I have asthma, so I belong to the risk group). Due to contagion, my temperature had stopped and I expected to go home in isolation, and there was a scare. Directions to the Arena – says Ivan and adds:
– Of course, I had doubts about what to do and was trying to convince the doctor that I was fine, who else will go there after all these stories? But the doctor remained persistent, either a sign that he will not take responsibility or the right to medical supervision there because it is risky, says Ivan.
After consulting with his fellow doctors, he decided to leave anyway. That, he says, will turn out to be a great decision.
– During the first 5-6 days, there were no changes in me (no temperature, 97-98-99 saturation, no other symptoms). Monday is coming and I hope to go home and do the checkups. The Arena doctor also insists on an X-ray (although the first image was fine). This is where the initial pneumonia is discovered and I am given additional therapy that lasts until yesterday. The inflammation has subsided and I am fine and here I am now at home. If he hadn’t been there, I don’t know what would have happened, but he probably would have developed pneumonia and would have come back a much more serious patient with probably much worse consequences, says Ivan.
As he pointed out, Kovid is a very insidious disease and even when it doesn’t seem like anything to you, it develops and spreads.
– The fact that someone is good, and feels good, does not mean that they will not have a high fever at night or tomorrow. So being under medical supervision turned out to be a pretty good decision, he says.
There, the video highlights everything, and of course it is full of impressions, but these are some of the most important:
– Doctors, nurses and other people who work are literally heroes. Multi-hour shifts in spacesuits (no rest, no water, etc.) during which they work non-stop.
– There is almost always a crisis situation, for example someone has a high temperature, pressure jumps, pulse, saturation drops. Everyone is afraid because they have heard everything and do not know what will happen to them next. And they are there to check, to give therapy, to tell you something.
– In several cases, I saw them collapse from the heat and effort. I have nothing more to say but thank you and all parties.
– The conditions in the Arena are good, whatever they tell you. The most important thing is that the doctors and nurses are there and you are constantly under supervision. The temperature and the rest are measured five or six times a day.
– If something is wrong, they visit you more often and change therapy as they go. They follow you and make you feel more secure. Of course, it is not ideal because there is congestion (if there are more crisis situations, if there are many people at the reception at this time, etc.), but in general it is like that.
As for other things (food, hygiene …), they are as they can be in collective accommodation, but in general it is bearable.
When it comes to patients, Ivan says they are daima of all ages, most of whom are older and in a more difficult clinical situation.
In the end, as Iván points out, the great thing is that there is solidarity between the people.
– My impression is that everyone helped those who needed it. From bringing food, water, the title of medical nurse and things like that. Of course, at first everyone freaks out when they come because they don’t know what to expect. But their nurses, doctors and other patients are helping them to improve – finished Ivan.
