The Xunta has excluded the residents with severe or high dependency of the transfer to the medicalized residences of Porta do Camiño, in Santiago and Baños de Molgas in Ourense.
Those residents with dependency in grade 2 and 3 could not be transferred to these centers, according to the protocol to which we have had access in the SER. They remained in their centers, even at the risk of contagion for other users, because According to the Galician government, the transfer to these integrated residences was more detrimental to their health. They would only be referred to a hospital if established by medical criteria.
In fact, of the almost 300 deaths in nursing homes in Galicia with coronavirus, 132 have died in their residence, without being treated in a hospital or in a medical residence.
The Xunta assures that in a third medicalized residence in Ourense, in Piñor, Yes, the transfer of large dependents from residences located in the environment has been allowed because, being an old hospital, its facilities were prepared to care for this type of patients.
