“Over the weekend, the Covid-19 infection was confirmed in a total of 87 people in the Topas Holice sanatorium. It is a sanatorium for people with chronic mental disorders. According to the hygienists, the infection probably occurred on the basis of performed music therapy, “President Netolický told TN.cz.
Music therapy in the sanatorium is commonly used by nurses. The infection entered the facility with an external worker who was helping with the therapy.
“This is a similar case to Úpice in the Hradec Králové region, so it turns out that such issues during a pandemic for such a highly infectious disease are not a completely suitable method of treatment and every facility should consider whether to approach it,” added the governor.
The region also solves the situation together with firefighters. They should disinfect the entire sanatorium. According to Netolický, the condition of the patients is good, it is an easy course, neither the clients of the sanatorium nor the employees needed to be hospitalized.
