The coronavirus nightmare has no end. The country now counts 47,000 active cases and 3,633 hospitalized.
“The number of new cases has increased by another 50% in the last week. 1 in 4 cases in Attica, over 7,500 active cases in Thessaloniki and 3,379 in Larissa Prefecture » said the Professor of Pediatric Infectious Diseases, Vana Papaevangelou.
Today in the country 6,801 cases were recorded with a positivity of 1.97%. The deaths continue to move at very high levels, as another 67 patients died in the last 24 hours. At the same time, the pipelines broke the 500 barrier, while the imports are increasing day by day, putting unbearable pressure on the hospitals.
“A provincial hospital, for example, that has a clinical clinic with 30 beds and now suddenly needs to treat another 25 covid patients or another 70 covid patients that happens many times, in Volos the covid cases reach 110, is a very large “As a result, hospitals’ oxygen tanks are emptied within a day instead of a week,” he said. the Deputy Minister of Health, Mina Gaga.
In Northern Greece, the pathology clinics treat even four times the number of patients in relation to their strength, while the ICUs are hard to find, reaching a fullness of 97%.
According to the doctors, the vigil in Papageorgiou closed with 36 of our fellow human beings intubated. Of these, 9 have been intubated in an intensive care unit and 2 in single wards.
All the ICUs are full in Ippokratio, while in the morning 4 citizens were intubated outside the intensive care unit.
“Every vigil is a war that is being waged. “During the previous vigil, 160 patients came to be examined and a total of 80 of them were admitted”, said Christos Tzelepis, president of employees at the Hippocratic Hospital of Thessaloniki.
The hospitals of Thessaly are also in a critical condition.
“We have been waiting for five days, and more, for the intensive care unit to open for patients with covid. We have six intubated patients outside the unit at the moment. In fact, one is in the fifth twenty-four hours in this situation “, says Hector Gazos, President of the Association of Hospital Doctors of Karditsa.
“There are two tubes in the chambers. “The number of clinics that treat non-communicants has decreased,” said Apostolos Komnos, director of the ICU of Larissa Hospital, on the show Today.
The official opposition is harshly critical of the government.
“This sloppiness with which the pandemic was dealt with was criminal. “Even now, efforts must be made to strengthen the NSS”, noted Alexis Tsipras.
The Ministry of Health is preparing for the recruitment of private doctors. In Northern Greece we need about 100-150 physicians, pulmonologists and general practitioners. If even 50 are interested, a part of the needs is covered and it is not excluded that immediate mobilization is not needed. In the second year, anesthesiologists will be consulted with the private clinics to cover the needs.
“Individuals should immediately decide to fill positions voluntarily, otherwise next week a requirement will be activated in special categories and starting from Northern Greece”, said the Minister of Health, Thanos Plevris.
The NSS is strengthened with even more beds from the private sector. In Thessaloniki 350 beds are available for Covid and non covid cases, while in Thessaly, 370 beds have been added.
