Three Pulmology Clinic nurses with COVID-19

Three nurses at the Pulmology Clinic have proved positive with COVID-19, and their health condition is stable. This clinic, which is already being handled with COVID-19, has 22 positive patients with COVID-19.

The director of the Pulmology Clinic, Rukije Mehmeti, for Kosova Preris has shown that the situation of three nurses who have resulted in positive with COVID-19 is stable.

She said touching nurses with COVIDD-19 makes it difficult for the clinic staff to be staffed, but who said they are preparing for the work plan so that patients can get adequate treatment.

Our nurse's name is COVID-19. The clinic's chief nurse is the one who did the staff management of nurses and I can say she's planning it and organizing it as to how it's going to work on staff and normal that she's asked for additional staff so that we can offer appropriate assistance to patients who are lying here in the clinic... They're in very good condition, unfortunately they don't have symptoms at all, but they've been tested given the contacts we have and all three are in very good health situation”, she said.

Mehmet has also talked about their clinic capacity, suggesting that the Pulmology and Dermatovenerology Clinic have about 100 beds, which some of them are already in service with COVID-19.

We have 68 beds, plus Dermavenerology Clinic 32 beds, that means approximately 100 beds. However, if we have new cases that are suspicious and we still don't have a result then those cases taken by a room that means if there are six patients, 6 rooms are from a patient and immediately reduce my number. While, the cases which are positive COVID they can be placed in a room, there are two, three cases depending on capacity, depending on the number which comes to”, she said.

As for the work of medical staff in these days when cases with COVIID-19 have increased, Mehmeti said they are having difficulties, what he has asked citizens to wear masks and maintain distance so that there is no increase in cases with COVID-19.

It stated that citizens should be cautious, since the virus is affecting the most patients advanced in years who have other associated diseases and are ending with fatality. And not to conclude cases fatally, she said that citizens should abide by the rules of health institutions.

We're trying not to get to this, but to not get to this I think nobody stops us from going out, but we don't have the right to take the infection home, infect others because we have to wear masks, keep the distance so we can stop the spread chain. This is the only chance we can shrink this number and move forward. It's not only up to what we work, we're working, but the population has ever thought if medical staff like doctors, nurses, all those locked up, if they fall what they're going to do and where they're going to go”, she said.

The total number of positive cases in our country is 2,878 cases, with a total of 51 death cases that have had other accompanying diseases, while 1.577 patients have been cured.
