Minister Lengvarský did not rule out tough measures as in Austria! – Pluska.sk

The Ministry of Health has estimated that most hospitals are able to handle 3,200 covid patients. With 2945 patients hospitalized today, we are only 255 people short of this limit. Covid’s patient requires a different organization of work, said Minister of Health Vladimír Lengvarský (Oľano nominee) on the Expres Braňo Závodský Naživo radio program. In addition to wearing overalls, it is especially difficult to work on intensive care beds, which requires a sufficient number of trained paramedics.

There is no point in setting aside a large covid hospital, as they would have to relocate the doctors and nurses who are in charge today and would be missing elsewhere. “We don’t have the staff to do that.” specified Lengvarský. Another problem is the hospital buildings themselves.

“Beds that are for covid patients, the minimum for them is oxygen and high flow oxygen therapy, in some hospitals we are at the limit of technical possibilities, divorces,” the minister explained. Most are already in full use today, so there is nowhere to plug in new devices.

Austria has introduced lockdown and compulsory vaccination. Will our politicians have the courage to take such action?

The head of the health department does not dare to estimate the situation at Christmas. The most important thing is that people are vaccinated and follow the precautions. “If people followed the measures, we would not be where we are today. If these measures are not enough, more will have to come, see the example of Austria. “ Lengvarský pointed out. In the event of a further deterioration of the situation or the filling of hospital capacities, a lockdown is not excluded either.
