Infected and dead in Perm and the Perm region
Recall that on March 10, a young man flew in from a vacation in France and almost immediately felt a slight malaise. Attributing it to ordinary fatigue after the flight, the young man did not pay much attention to malaise and weakness.
Two days later, the patient's condition worsened, with chest pains and fever. The resident of Perm also began to have doubts about his state of health. Around was his family, which was also at risk of infection. After calling an ambulance, the patient was taken to the nearest regional hospital for examination.
A day later, hospital staff identified the COVID-19 virus, also known as the coronavirus. At first, no one could understand how the virus appeared from China in Perm. The man was immediately placed in a separate isolated box so as not to spread the infection further. His entire family was also tested for the infection, but fortunately none of the tests were positive.
To date, the man feels better, according to doctors, the infection did not greatly affect his health.
An inspection was carried out throughout the Perm Territory. According to the regional Ministry of Health, 118 cases of suspected coronavirus have been identified in the region so far. All patients are under daily monitoring, some are in isolation in the hospital and are constantly monitored. There is no reason to panic, the situation in the Perm Territory is completely under control. So far, no deaths have been reported.
Is it true that passengers at the airport have been diagnosed with coronavirus?
In connection with the first case of coronavirus infection in Perm, Rospotrebnadzor has strengthened security measures when checking passengers at Bolshoye Savino Airport.
Today, March 15, passengers of the Senya-Perm flight were not only examined with a thermal imager, but also swabs were taken from the pharynx to more accurately check the population for the presence of infection. This measure should reduce the chance of a pandemic spreading in Perm and the Perm Territory.
According to Rospotrebnadzor, the press service of the airport reported that the inspection of the arrived people took place without violations, no one was suspected of having an infection. One passenger filed a suspicion that her neighbor had an infection. He was detained for a more detailed study. But a couple of hours later, the virus was not confirmed in a passenger who flew from China to Perm.
Let us remind you that this flight has always had an increased workload. The number of passengers on each flight was over 300 people. Each of them was examined. All analyzes of the arrivals were sent to the Novosibirsk laboratory for verification. The State Center for Virology "Vector" will check the smears of passengers in more detail.
All flights from Perm to China are temporarily closed.
Is there a panic in the city
The level of tension has risen sharply in light of recent events. There is no panic on the streets, but everyone has begun to take their hygiene and health much more seriously in order to protect themselves and their loved ones from the possibility of infection.
We also recall that earlier there were already some conflict situations with the children's rehabilitation center.
On Friday, February 7, information spread in all social networks that the rehabilitation center on Vstrechnaya 27 was closed for quarantine due to the admission of Chinese students to it. At the same time, the Ministry of Health evaded answers about the coronavirus, without giving any accurate information to journalists.
Against the background of reports from other institutions and closed centers of virology, panic in society began to grow. Given the latest incident on March 12, the situation in society is only getting worse. Talk is increasingly about this, and all local pharmacies have dramatically increased sales of face masks and antiseptics.
What protection measures have been introduced in the city
In the Perm Territory, the headquarters for preventing the spread of coronavirus infection COVID-19 recently discussed the issue of measures to be taken regarding the population.
Following the meeting of the headquarters, the commission made a decision to introduce a regime of high alert for the spread of the epidemic in the city.
Students in Perm schools are being transferred to distance learning, quarantined for 2 weeks to reduce the risk of infection for children who are more susceptible to complications when infected.
Soon, mass disinfection of shopping centers and cinemas will begin in Perm. Places will be processed repeatedly, with a certain frequency of one to two weeks. Many other means of mass gathering of people will also be affected. So, in Tchaikovsky, the organizers decided to hold the finals in ski jumping among women without spectators.
Passengers of not only international flights, but also intercity ones, are now being checked at the Perm airport. The quarantine regime is gradually being phased out not only in kindergartens and schools, but is also gradually beginning to spread to colleges and universities.
Everyone is asked to take precautions. It is recommended to regularly wear masks, monitor your health and the health of loved ones and others. For any questions, a direct hotline has been launched. It is open 24/7 and should you have any questions, please contact them first.
