Crimea is preparing for the return of anti-Covid restrictions
In Crimea, hospitals are again being converted into infectious diseases hospitals to receive patients with coronavirus infection.
The regional Ministry of Health has ordered the allocation of 50 beds of the Bakhchisarai district hospital to the Covid department, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
The number of detected infections per day has already approached two hundred cases. Over the past two weeks, the incidence has increased 4 times, and has reached the levels of early April, when the number of infected people began to decline. However, there are no plans to introduce restrictive measures in Crimea yet.
“It is quite possible that some of the restrictive measures may be returned, because by order of the chief state sanitary doctor of the Russian Federation, the mask regime and a number of other measures were temporarily suspended,” Natalya Penkovskaya, head of the regional department of Rospotrebnadzor, told the Millet TV channel. – So far there is no talk of introducing a mandatory mask regime on the peninsula.
We now strongly recommend that people in risk groups use personal protective equipment when visiting crowded places - supermarkets, public transport. These activities are individual recommendations. As you can already see, in medical institutions the mask regime is mandatory.”
The Ministry of Health returned the mask regime to medical institutions from July 26. A filter must be installed at the entrance to separate the flow of healthy visitors and patients with cold symptoms; everyone entering must have their body temperature measured, and, most importantly, citizens without masks must not be admitted. Social distancing and sanitizers are returning to hospitals and clinics.
There are now 266 beds allocated for coronavirus patients, 243 are in use. From August 10, another 50 will be added to them in Bakhchisaray, and in general, if the incidence continues to grow, up to 3 thousand beds could be allocated to Covid hospitals, completely stopping the provision of planned medical care.
