"“They didn’t escape, but insisted to return home without hospital recommendation. It was lunch hour for the officers and paramedics. Maybe they used that moment to return home”, said Cissy RS Prawira Kartasasmita, director of RSHS. Cissy also mentioned that the patients had been tested negative by hospital laboratory. “But hospital with help from local health service will observe their condition”, state Cissy.
Usually patient, who insisted to return home before the end of recommended term, will report to the officer-on-duty, but they didn’t. Guard also didn’t know that patients had left the room. Flamboyan room is guarded by an officer but the entrance is not locked.
This incidence is the first time happened in RSHS. “We will enhance the security; in particular doors and windows also add number of officers”, said Cissy."
Not strenghtened biosec. policy is equal as non biosecurity in a hotspot zone, and that all is well known:
- it is important to stick onto strict protocols even if it is possible that the patients are/would be cleared.
- it must not be allowed that nobody of the staff members be at the ward when it is lunch time.
- isolation must be equal as an closure space, so the main thing is locking the doors/windows, even if this seems loosing freedom during the isolation assesments, and than the guards would be less neccessary (only on feed/treating times)
- if the above is not accomplished and the patients walks freely, all the hospital would became quarantined in an infectious event.
