Ćuprija and especially Paraćin are once again becoming hotbeds of coronavirus in Serbia. In both cities, hospitals are filling up rapidly, patients are admitted with an increasingly serious clinical picture and the situation is very similar to that of November and December of last year, with family infections leading the way.
With around fifty new cases a day, Paracin is currently at the top of the Serbian covid statistics. Up to two-thirds of the patients who were examined at the Kovid clinic for the first time tested positive. The situation does not calm down, it even worsens day by day.
“Our figures are not commendable, there are currently 57 patients in the Kovid ward of the Paracin hospital, of which five are on non-invasive ventilators, yesterday there were 121 examinations, 10 admissions, four discharges and, unfortunately, two deceased patients” says Dr. Sasa Bacic, director of the General Hospital of Paracin.
They come with a very difficult clinical picture
Doctors from the covid red zone say that now patients with a very difficult clinical picture come to them and that the high temperature is characteristic.
“A lot of patients don’t come to the ward for treatment, but we send them to the intensive care unit at the same time, because we have a drastic drop in oxygen, many end up on the ventilator on the same day,” said Dr. Snezana Zlatkovic, head of the Chest Department.
The headquarters of the municipal crisis met in Ćuprija. The director of the Hospital and the Institute of Public Health issued dramatic warnings.
“The infection rate is very high, 1,900 infected per 100,000 inhabitants is currently the situation in the municipality of Ćuprija. It is absolutely alarming, the hospital facilities are overloaded, with overbooking”, warns Dr. Goran Radovanović, epidemiologist, Health Director Public Institute in Ćuprija.
Doctors in Ćuprija say the December scenario can easily be repeated, when nearly two hundred citizens died of covid in the Pomoravski region.
