The cluster that developed in the Medicine and Surgery departments of the Cardarelli hospital in Campobasso has expanded to 15 people. At least for now. 5 are health workers, 9 are patientsthe. When they walked in the hospital door to be hospitalized and did the molecular swab, they were negative. They caught the virus right in the hospital, as he stated in a exhibited presented to the Public Prosecutor of Campobasso the son of a woman who is bedridden in the surgery department and who, the complaint claims, did not have covid when she set foot in the hospital, as demonstrated by the molecular swab.
“Certainly there is concern regarding the situation, but it should have been expected because Cardarelli is a covid hospital and at the same time it must also respond to time-dependent pathologies” says Dr. Giuseppe Cecere, director of the complex surgery unit of Campobasso who today made some statements to the TGR Molise, whose troupe was inexplicably denied access to the hospital by decision of the general manager Oreste Florenzano.
The primary Cecere confirmed the numbers of the cluster inside the hospital, on which the mayor of Gravina also intervened with the request to Asre, m to clarify. In reality, it is not at all clear how the cluster developed, although the Fials secretary too Carmine Vasile, when asked about this, he accuses the promiscuity of the departments. The fact that Cardarelli is a mixed hospital and not always safe.
“Unfortunately it was predictable – Vasile declares – in these conditions it is not difficult for homes to develop even within the hospital”.
The Medicine ward has increased to 20 beds from the initial 38 precisely because a wing of the ward is currently assigned to accommodate patients with covid, which naturally cannot all be accommodated in infectious diseases. The Urology department, on the other hand, has been temporarily merged with that of surgery, and clearly this is also an aspect that amplifies the problems related to the paths of separation, entry and exit from the departments, and the risk that the infection can spread more easily to the inside the hospital precisely because the hospital, which is the only covid center in Molise, continues to perform its function as a hospital for ordinary patients. “This is what the Molise region has decided – Cecere said to Rai microphones – and we can do nothing but stick to this decision”.
Once again the underlying question concerns the failure to open a Covid center in the Vietri hospital in Larino.
