A 70-year-old general practitioner from Charleroi was contaminated by the Covid-19 and was then hospitalized and then placed on a respirator, the Federation of Associations of General Practitioners of Charleroi (FAGC) told the medical magazine Medi-Sphere on Saturday.
According to the latest news, the practitioner’s condition was stable. This is the first known case of a contaminated general practitioner. “But who risks not remaining isolated if GPs do not quickly receive masks appropriate to their practice,” reacts Dr Bets, vice-president of the FAGC.
The CHU Charleroi, it seems, tested around 10 providers midweek (general practitioners and other disciplines), 20 Thursday and 39 Friday.
The latest procedures published by Sciensano invite no longer to take a sample for the diagnosis of Covid-19 on healthcare professionals suffering from mild symptoms but who do not have a fever, writes Medi-Sphere. “At a time when physiotherapists and nurses at home, for example, are struggling to draw attention to their situation, it is not a luxury to say and repeat that caregivers are particularly exposed to contamination and that their protection must be taken seriously. “
