A family of viruses, in which at least 4 subspecies dotted the whole world with panic and fear. Coming from the Middle East, a dangerous enemy strikes at innocent people and children. It is noteworthy that for the first time they talked about him back in 1965.
Why is the regional hospital closed for quarantine?
The closure of institutions - medical, educational - occurs in order to minimize the surge in diseases and the transmission of viruses in a more severe form. It is known that the Mogilev regional hospital is closed for quarantine until further notice, in order to reduce the influx and spread of patients. This does not mean that it does not function. There are simply no scheduled inspections and manipulations.
Minimizing the risk of disease growth is due to the fact that when a virus is detected in a person, the respiratory system suffers. The development of the disease is rapid. In parallel with the respiratory system, the gastrointestinal tract and the nervous system are affected. For those who suffer from chronic diseases, "meeting" with such a virus is completely dangerous.
And due to the fact that the manifestation of the virus is similar to the symptoms of SARS, it is difficult to determine it. Checking for the disease occurs only with the help of special testing. Express systems are being developed around the world, with the help of which, within 10-15 minutes, it will be possible to deliver a result - covid-19 is positive.
Today, the assessment of the presence of the virus in the body is carried out in the laboratory.
There is no vaccine yet for the coronavirus, although leading pharmaceutical companies are working hard to have such vaccines available by the end of 2020.
Also, there is no medicine that would accurately cure the sick. Conduct experimental treatment with drugs for AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis, depending on the infection. It is known that coronavirus has a combination of 37 strains, of which 4 are more common. It is four subspecies that are dangerous, two of which cause intestinal upset and a viral infection, and two more provoke very serious complications.
Which hospitals in Mogilev are quarantined
From February 28 until further notice, the regional hospital in Mogilev has been closed. This was done to prevent the spread of viral infections. When the ban was established, a list was put into effect according to which the hospital can be visited.
Closure of public institutions, a practice taken from world experience. Limiting the crowd, including patients in the hospital, will allow you not to “spread” the virus from one person to another, as is possible when waiting for your turn to see a doctor. A bridgehead is also needed, on the basis of which, the sick will be able to receive qualified assistance.
