According to Fokin, in the near future, the dynamics of the incidence of COVID-19 will not decrease, and therefore the regional health system will need at least 3,000 beds for patients with COVID-19.
“This means that other medical institutions will have to be redesigned. Unfortunately, it will hardly be possible to do this without prejudice to the provision of medical care in other profiles, ”he said.
Also, due to the increase in mortality from COVID-19, tensions in the pathological unit are growing. The situation is aggravated by the fact that the relatives of the deceased do not take the bodies for a long time.
“The load has increased significantly, so now we are looking for additional refrigeration chambers, since the morgues can no longer cope with the storage of bodies until they are handed over to relatives,” Fokin said.
As of November 16, 13 646 cases of infection with a new coronavirus infection were confirmed in the region, 9524 patients with a confirmed diagnosis recovered. 203 patients died, 2402 people remain in hospitals
