Covid-19 in the county? No horror. And half of those infected are asymptomatic

No drama is happening in the individual districts either – the increase during the week is mostly reported in units of people. The most positive ones remain in the Olomouc region (78), which, however, is due to the size of the region, and the least in the Jesenice region (1).

“People have more social contacts because they travel, participate in cultural and sports events, or meet within the family,” summed up the most common reasons for the transmission of the disease Růžena Haliřová.

According to her, however, it does not necessarily mean that everyone who has a cold, temperature or sore throat must be positive.

“During the holidays, we also record, as is typical for this period, acute respiratory diseases and summer flu – whether from air conditioning or temperature changes,” she added.

Consideration is important

The word that should accompany us throughout the coronavirus period is consideration. If they do not feel well, have a fever or cough, people should consider others and not walk among others unnecessarily.

“We always appeal to everyone’s personal responsibility to those around them. If someone is not feeling well, they should stay at home. According to the degree of severity, people should deal with the situation with their general practitioner, “advises the epidemiologist.

On the other hand, it is not necessary to panic if the patient is shaken and finds that the covid is positive because he has come into contact with an infected person. “

About fifty percent of the total number of those infected have no symptoms. I don’t want to underestimate the situation in any way, but people’s reaction to the fact that they are infected should be adequate to their current state of health, “she said.

Testing to a friendly public

Testing of self-payers who need to travel abroad and must have a covid test in hand is performed by the University Hospital in Olomouc.

“Due to traveling to Greece, they have expanded the testing even more, and it must be said that they respond very well to the needs of the public and have provided everything in terms of staff,” she said.

In patients with clinical symptoms, they take collection from an infectious clinic in hospitals.

“In the Přerov region, infections are taken by an infectious clinic in the Přerov and border hospitals – there are therefore two in the district. Quarantine is ordered only by hygiene, the doctor then writes quarantine incapacity for work. However, the first instance is a general practitioner – he will recommend a solution, “said Eva Bernardová, a epidemiologist from Přerov.

Three patients on an infectious

According to her, hygienists recorded only three new cases in the region this week. “Some people have mild flu-like symptoms with temperature, others suffer from a loss of smell and taste, but a large percentage are asymptomatic – it all depends on immunity. Many brought the disease from trips around the country, “she said.

The Infectious Diseases Department of the Prostějov Hospital manages the care of coronavirus infections. “At the moment, there are three patients with confirmed covid-19 disease. Their condition is stable, however, it requires hospitalization, “concluded hospital spokeswoman Radka Miloševská.
