Ignacio Previgliano, director of the Fernández Hospital, expressed his
strong disagreement
with the restrictions announced this Wednesday by Alberto Fernández to contain the second wave of the coronavirus pandemic in Argentina.
"I had to close the windows because of the cacerolazo that is here.
We are in a state of siege, with the Army in the street,
" said Previgliano about the reaction to the measures for the AMBA.
The doctor considered
the measures
"very strong"
and assured that the Buenos Aires hospital system is not saturated.
"I really believe that they are very strong measures that impact. The level of contagion is high but the public system of hospitals in the City of Buenos Aires
is not in a saturation situation,
" said the director of Fernández in statements to IP.

Regarding the situation in the
private health system of
the City of Buenos Aires, he explained that saturation is due to pathologies other than the coronavirus.
"Taking advantage of a decrease in cases, that somewhat elevated plateau that we had, we sought to solve the pending problems with the pandemic," he said.
"The figure was given by Minister Quirós: 550 beds out of 1500 beds are occupied by Covid. That is, two thirds due to diseases other than the coronavirus. That causes a saturation in private sanatoriums," completed the director of Fernández.
Despite the differences, he
agreed
with the President on one point: the
restriction of social gatherings.
"I agree with Alberto Fernández that the
main means of contagion
are social gatherings. It also happens with health personnel: they are not infected when they attend to the patient but when they get together in a relaxation of the restriction measures," he said.
The director of the Fernández Hospital agreed with the President on the inconvenience of social gatherings.
