Testing of wards of the psychoneurological boarding house continues. At the moment, 109 facts of infection have been identified.

The President listened to the reports of the heads of the Operational Headquarters, the Ministry of Health, the Epidemiological Service, as well as the chief doctors of the republic’s medical institutions involved in the fight against coronavirus. The first working conversation took place with the Head of the new hospital in Bendery. Vadim Krasnoselsky called on officials and colleagues to support Yuri Zavtur, providing all possible consulting and practical assistance. Many organizational issues were resolved directly at the meeting. Complicating the situation is the specificity of the medical facility, which has become the focus of the spread of coronavirus. Patients are mentally ill people, many are diagnosed with physical ailments, which are aggravating factors in coronavirus. Taking into account the mass of the disease and the likelihood of continued growth in the number of infected among the wards of the Bendery boarding house, the President instructed to prepare for the transfer of some patients to the Slobodzeya hospital. There are now 69 people there. The facilities and the availability of the psychiatric ward, provided with trained personnel, allow us to accept some of the patients in the boarding house. We are talking about the most difficult cases from the point of view of the course of coronavirus disease, as well as the competent wards of the boarding house, which are most adapted to stay in standard conditions of the medical institution. COVID-19 patients will be sent to Slobodzeya if their number exceeds 130 people.
The Epidemiological Service periodically lists recommendations and requirements. An action plan is being prepared. Representatives of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Ministry of Health, the Sanitary-Epidemiological Station and administration in Bendery are ordered to inspect the new hospital in Bendery twice a day.
