Gómez Ulla Hospital has incorporated about 80 professionals to care for the 14 repatriated patients admitted to its High-Level Isolation Unit. The patients will begin quarantine on May 6, with an initial duration that could be extended up to 42 days depending on the evolution of the epidemiological risk. The measure aims to guarantee health safety.
Logistics and protocols in the High-Level Isolation Unit 🏥
The unit has negative pressure systems, decontamination airlocks, and separate circuits for staff and patients. The reinforcement includes nurses, assistants, and cleaning personnel specialized in biological waste management. Entry and exit protocols are applied with personal protective equipment, and shifts are organized to minimize the risk of contagion among the healthcare team.
Paid vacation in an isolation suite: the resort nobody asked for 😅
42 days in a room with no views, with visits only from people dressed as astronauts and meals served through a hatch. All-inclusive: periodic PCR tests and the excitement of not knowing if tomorrow you'll have to extend your stay. A vacation plan that not even the worst TripAdvisor critic would recommend. At least, the wifi seems stable.
