According to Agris Rozenfelds, Chairman of the Board of Kuldīga Hospital, LTV has decided not to close the wards for the time being, but to establish isolators in them to help both the chronically ill and the Covid-19 infected. “It’s not epidemiologically very safe, but it’s the only option to survive,” Rosenfeld explained.
He explains that there are 10 beds, but there are already 12 Covid-19 patients. The three-year-old child was hospitalized with a moderate course of the disease. He needs extra oxygen. Neither mom nor dad are infected with Covid-19.
Ēriks Vidžups, who treats Covid-19 sufferers, points out that patients come by themselves through admission. “Most often, contact with Covid-19 patients is denied, but the test is positive. There is less oxygen, there is obstruction in the lungs. Anyone who enters with this diagnosis is anxious. It takes over it emotionally.
He warns that now it is possible to get infected anywhere. “With the disease as it is now, it can happen anywhere. Both on the street and in traffic.”
