In the midst of a pandemic, it is the moment chosen by the management of the Pontevedra health area to close the intensive care unit for works. The address of the public hospital of Montecelo considers that it is the best time to undertake this reform because there are hardly any fatal traffic accidents and the care pressure in the ICU has decreased.
Health explains that “in the middle of next week” the UCI of Pontevedra will resume its normal activity with two new isolation boxes and, in addition, it will be used to paint the facilities, renovate the light points and clean ducts and facilities.
Actually there are 5 serious patients affected by coronavirus at that hospital, they have all been referred to a resuscitation room converted into an ICU. The intensive care staff has shown their indignation and discontent due to the fact that the works are being carried out at this time of health crisis in which they were even forced to refer patients to private hospitals.
