After several corona infections, the Helios clinics in Schwerin tighten their precautionary measures. Patients have to expect that planned examination appointments will be canceled.
40 Helios employees are currently in quarantine. The coronavirus was detected in ten of them. The managing director of the Helios-Kliniken Schwerin Daniel Dellmann said that everything is under control, only a few beds should be kept free so that the existing staff can continue to work. Operations have not yet been postponed, Dellmann told NDR1 Radio MV. But some patients who, for example, have an appointment for a colonoscopy or to stop their diabetes, are called and canceled.
Dellmann: “Situation will normalize next week”
According to Dellmann, emergency and intensive care medicine are not affected. There are currently six patients with Covid-19 infection at Helios, one person is being treated in the intensive care unit. The Helios boss assumes that the situation will normalize again by the coming week and that some of the employees will be able to return to work from the quarantine at home.
