After October and November, when as many as 250 patients were treated daily in the Covid-19 wards in Daugavpils, the number of patients decreased fourfold.
“The situation is improving a bit, but of course we are still working. New technologies and devices have been introduced in the hospital,” explains Natalija Degtjarjova, the chief nurse of Daugavpils Regional Hospital.
She points out that the number of patients has decreased for two reasons: more people have been vaccinated and many have already become ill. The number of Covid-19 patients in Daugavpils Hospital has significantly decreased, but the first patients have been diagnosed with the omicron variant.
According to the head of the hospital Grigory Semyonov, omicron is more contagious, but not more aggressive. “There are patients with omicrons, but not so many and, thank God, those who have occurred are not serious. patients, stabilize and return home. “
In the case of the omicron variant, hospitalized patients with end-stage cancer, immunocompromised or other co-morbid conditions have been reported.
“We see the main trend that pneumonia is changing places with the fact that a person is infected. Those who do have other types of parallel health problems,” explains Semyonov.
