The Covid-19 variant feared by staff
If the hospital remains closed to visits, and the prioritization of care remains relevant, the pressure is less within the hospital. For Anne-Sophie Dupont, doctor and president of the medical commission at Trévenans hospital: “ona breathed a little, but you have to be careful because there are very severe forms, and a lot of deaths. We are preparing for a third wave depending on this possible circulation of Covid-19 variants which would be more contagious. _We did not get out of the woods_, but we’re not like other regions where the epidemic is rampant for the moment“.
