MODE from the office in Tver will be strengthened

07.12.2009

In Tver the past week was reported 7671 case of SARS and influenza. Compared with the previous week, this figure rose to 40 percent.

The epidemic threshold is exceeded on average by 18 percent, and among children from 7 to 14 years - at 70.3 percent.

As the press office of the city administration, these figures were announced at the regular meeting of the sanitary and epidemic commission.

As of December 1, 2009 in the 172 laboratory-confirmed cases of influenza caused by highly pathogenic A/H1N1/09. In Tver, the figure is 100 cases (65 adults, 35 - for children). Were three deaths of patients diagnosed with viral pneumonia, two of them - the inhabitants of the area.

26-year-old woman worked in a large store in Tver, and lived in the back room. When you call the hospital she was assigned to outpatient treatment, but she continued to work. Repeated requests to the doctor was found pneumonia, a woman was hospitalized immediately, but it was too late. One man admitted to the hospital from the regional, also diagnosed with viral pneumonia. Another man turned to the clinic in the southern neighborhood with signs of SARS. However, drugs prescribed by doctor, he has not acquired and are not treated with, and on readmission revealed viral pneumonia.

Currently in specially equipped medical institutions of the city offices are 163 people diagnosed with influenza and pneumonia, four of them in intensive care. Remaining patients treated as outpatients.

All the clinics of the city are now working in emergency mode, on a six-day working week passed and staff of the Department of Health and Social Policy of the city administration. In all areas of the city deployed additional offices, which if necessary will be hospitalized with flu. Are allocated special facilities for ill pregnant women. In the hospitals established and a sufficient stock of medicines and protective equipment.

In general, over the last few days in Tver, there has been a relative stabilization of the incidence of SARS and influenza. All schools and kindergartens are working on quarantine closed 45 classes in seventeen schools and several groups in kindergartens.

However, as experts warn, it's time to settle down early. Tver just entered the peak of illness and must do everything possible to prevent the population and treatment of patients. Concern is the absence in some pharmacies of modern medicines against influenza. But in general there is no rush. The drugs enter the pharmacy network on a daily basis. Now the question of increasing the supply of drugs from wholesalers from Moscow decided at regional level.

In mid-December in the region must reach a vaccine against the so-called swine flu. In the department of health of the city drafted a plan of vaccination for all categories of the population, set up teams. Immunization coverage will depend on the number of vaccines received.

While in the regional capital canceled public events, prohibited from leaving children in other regions. The decision to cancel or hold New Year will be decided later, depending on the epidemiological situation.
