Blocking of admissions in the Medicine Department of San Timoteo di Termoli after that two patients tested positive at Sars-Cov-2 and procedures are being put in place to avoid contagion. The Asrem note is dated 4 December.
For the patients in question, it was decided to move to the Cardarelli hospital in Campobasso and to the Rsa del Santissimo Rosario in Venafro, the latter recently converted to host non-serious Covid patients. For all the other hospitalized in the Termolese hospital ward, as well as for health workers, the tampons to verify any contagion. Patients found to be negative will presumably be sorted to other departments in the hospital.
However, the Asrem leaders considered it necessary to also prepare other measures to contain the infection, first of all the blocking of admissions to Medicine. A beautiful tile for the hospital which, although temporary, certainly causes damage to the health system and, directly, to citizens who need to be hospitalized in the ward. And then the staff quotas (of Medicine, in fact) in service. This means the numerical reduction of health workers in service.
In addition, the management of the hospital decided to carry out the serial swabs on patients (those hospitalized and who may have been infected) and personnel, and again the use of antigen tests, the stringent use of Individual Protection Devices staff and for patients and “everything deemed necessary up to the definition of the cluster”.
