Ebola suspected cases arrive in the car of cantonal physician at the HUG. Normal?
Since the beginning of the Ebola epidemic in West Africa, the HUG had to face a half dozen suspected patients. How do they get these people to the ER? How to avoid the risk of contagion during transport?
On Wednesday, a suspected case came to the ER in the private car of the cantonal physician, Jacques-André Romand. A situation that has caused some concern. Yet, according to the State and the Hospital, Jacques-André Romand was in full compliance with the procedure. Expolanation.
Excerpts from the video:
Translated:
- If people don't have symptoms, there are not contagious.
- Following a phone conversation with the patient, the doctor took the decision to pick her up himself to bring her to the hospital, as she was not in a state to do it by herself.
- The purpose is to not frighten the population
