A second death in Switzerland

Posted 2 hours ago on March 8, 2020

From Keystone-ATS

A patient died Sunday morning of the coronavirus at the cantonal hospital of Liestal (BL), authorities said. The 76-year-old is the second victim of the epidemic in Switzerland.

The 70-year-old man infected with Covid-19 already suffered from heart disease, the cantonal crisis staff said. He arrived at the Basel-Country cantonal hospital in Liestal from another establishment last week. Already tested positive, "he came here very sick," chief medical officer J?rg Leupi said to the media on Sunday.

The septuagenarian also suffered a heart attack. "He also expressed his wishes not to undergo intensive care, which we respected," said the chief doctor. However, caregivers do not know where and how the victim was infected. They do know, however, with whom he came into contact once he was contagious.

The canton of Basel-Country currently has 19 confirmed cases of Covid-19. A first death was announced last Thursday, a 74-year-old woman in the canton of Vaud. She was probably infected in Italy. The patient died at CHUV, where she had been hospitalized since March 3. She suffered from respiratory problems and her condition had suddenly deteriorated.

ZURICH (REUTERS) - Switzerland's health-care system could collapse by the end of the month if the new coronavirus keeps spreading at current rates, a government official warned on Tuesday (March 17).

Swiss authorities estimated that 2,650 people had tested positive for the coronavirus and said 19 people had died, while predicting cases will likely soar in the weeks ahead.

Exact figures were unavailable.
....

Koch urged residents to observe strict emergency measures ordered this week, including bans on events and gatherings, calling these critical in limiting the damage and protecting hospitals from a potential collapse.

"People who become infected today will only hit us in 10 days from now," Koch said at a news conference.

"We have to make sure the infection rate goes down today, because otherwise, in 10 days (Swiss hospitals) won't be able to handle it."

1,300 more cases in one day in Switzerland

Coronavirus The spread of coronavirus continues in the country. Adults are significantly more affected than children.


Saturday at 12 noon, the Federal Office of Public Health (FOPH) counted in Switzerland 6113 cases of declared infections with the coronavirus, nearly 1300 more than the day before. The number of deaths is 56, according to figures published on the website of the office.

These are based on the declarations received and seized on Saturday morning. For this reason, the figures may diverge from those communicated by the cantons, specifies the FOPH.

Adults are significantly more affected than children and, from the age of 60, men more than women. The cantons of Ticino (257.8 cases per 100,000 inhabitants), Basel-City (173) and Vaud (181.2) are the most affected.

Expected increase

These figures will further increase in the coming days in Switzerland. But the curve could flatten as early as next week, provided that everyone sticks to the measures, according to Daniel Koch, head of the crisis cell.

It is not the measures that will make the difference, but the behavior of the population, said Saturday the head of the communicable diseases division of the FOPH at a press briefing in Bern. Everyone must do everything to not be contaminated and not to contaminate the others.
