The Conurbano is already beginning to show the worst face of the impact of the arrival of the second wave of the
coronavirus
.
A key municipality in the North of the GBA is the first to admit that the public health system, both municipal and provincial, is collapsed and that intensive care beds are
100%
covered
.
It was Escobar's own mayor,
Ariel Sujarchuk,
who through a video that he recorded and disseminated on social networks, gave an account of the complicated situation of his Party.
He specifically emphasized the
saturation
of the municipal
hospitalization
system.
Many read the Sujarchuk filming as an agreement that various mayors of
Greater Buenos Aires
had made with Governor
Axel Kicillof
and his Minister of Health,
Daniel Gollán
.
The objective: to help the Province so that it can
justify and distribute the political cost
of the new restrictions that will surely be announced this week.
Along these lines, it was striking that also this Monday and almost in tandem with Sujarchuk, another powerful mayor of the Conurbano has come out to warn about the tail blows due to the rise of infected.
In this case, it was
Martín Insaurralde, from Lomas de Zamor
, who directly went out to ask for restrictions on the circulation of his neighbors and "close everything that has to be closed," as indicated by the Municipality to Clarín Zonal.
Returning to Escobar, in the filming Sujarchuk was accompanied by Gaspar Costa, the director of the Erill provincial hospital, who admitted: “The percentage of occupation of the COVID patient as non-COVID is
practically 100
%, that is why we are working hard on jointly with the Ministry of Health of the Province of Buenos Aires, Fifth Sanitary Region and Municipality of Escobar through the Ministry of Health in the referral of patients ”.
The same percentage, that is,
without a place
to receive any other infected with Coronavirus who needs to be admitted (unless beds are released), is the Néstor Kirchner municipal hospital.
Due to this situation, the local communal chief announced that he
will buy 45 hospital beds
for severe COVID patients, of which 15 will be distributed in pre-existing health centers.
The hospital health personnel pointed out that although "it all adds up," the big problem is the
general stress
that doctors, nurses and anesthetists, among other professionals, have suffered for months.
In addition, the mayor announced that a
complementary modular center
will be built
behind the Dr. Horacio A. Dupuy Early Diagnosis Unit that will contain 30 beds that will be used "for temporary special and emergency use attentive to COVID." .
And they expect construction to start this year.
Second wave of COVID in the Province of Buenos Aires.
The communal chief of Escobar with the Emergency Operational Committee foreseeing actions to reduce the rate of infections.
This Sunday there were 80 new positive cases in the Party with 67 recovered and 2 deaths.
"Until now, Escobar's level of contagion had been accompanying the regions and even below it," Sujarchuk highlighted.
According to the official website of the Province, the second wave hit hard throughout the GBA.
Thus,
Escobar increased almost 50% the number of infected
in the last week compared to the previous one.
"In the metropolitan region, the number of infected people increased, compared to the outlook, it confirms that, together with the Municipality's health team, they will be" working "on the controls that will be implemented with respect to this second wave," added Sujarchuk.
.
The municipal health secretary, Juan Ordóñez, tried to be more positive when reading the numbers of infections although he warned about the future: “Escobar is not in a red zone yet, but we consider that we are inexorably on our way to it.
The number of infections has doubled in the last two weeks and the percentage of saturation of the beds, both in municipal and provincial hospitals, is full ".
Saturation in the Hospital.
Due to the increase in COVID cases, the municipality decided to buy new hospital beds and the construction of a complementary modular center.
When the issue of possible new restriction measures came up, the communal chief said that for now the "strict" compliance with the approved protocols will be controlled.
And he announced that they will comply with the measures announced from La Plata.
As a preview of what may come, it was the Buenos Aires governor himself, Axel Kicillof, this weekend affirmed that the numbers of cases of the second wave "are alarming" and highlighted: "We have been increasing a couple of weeks ago and this last one was explosive the increase (of cases) ”.
“The growth of the virus is in the AMBA.
There is a battery of measures, we are talking about them ”, Kicillof described.
The coronavirus situation in the Province, according to the data provided over the course of this weekend, is more than one million confirmed, while more than five thousand cases are registered daily.
