Special measures for pregnant people affected by coronarys in Kosovo

Kosovo University Clinical Clinic Director Jakup Ismaili told Radio Europe Free that their health situation is currently good and that the clinic he runs has taken some steps to curb spread of pandemic.

A few days ago, we got a laser camera at the clinic, which automatically measures the temperature. Any patient with a temperature of over 38 degrees alerts and immediately identifies him. We also have laser thermometers, and each patient in the admission ambulance is measured at”.

As a measure for preventing COVID-19 disease, which causes Coronavirus, Ismaili said that patients are also caught in short history.

For each patient we meet an epidemiological survey before accession. We ask them if they're from any evasive area with infected infections, have they had contact with coronarys and then consult the National Institute of Public Health, as well as the Infectious Clinic”, Ismaili said.

For pregnant women who allegedly have coronarys and those diagnosed, a special department within the Gynecological Clinic has become a special department.

For patients with COVID-19, we have a special department. That is where the birth is performed by the teams of doctors assigned. But what we're facing now is that many pregnant women are seeking tests, not because of symptoms they have, but because of panic”, Ismaili said.

Speaking to Radio Free Europe, microbiologist Lul Raka, from the Kosovo National Institute of Public Health, said there are no accurate data showing if pregnant women are most endangered Coronervirus, than the rest of the population.

Because of changes in their body and immune system, pregnant people may be affected by certain respiratory infections. Therefore, it is important that they take precautions and report any symptoms or signs of the disease that occurred during pregnancy”.

Raka also mentioned research conducted in New York, the United States, which, according to him, has shown that those infected with coronary pregnancy have had a mirror similar to other women who were not pregnant.

“ [For them], 86% had mild diseases, 9% had serious diseases and 5% developed critical diseases”, Raka said.

The World Health Organization has provided some advice for women who are pregnant at the time of the coronary pandemic, urging them to wash their hands often, avoid eye contact, nose, and mouth, and maintain physical distance.
