Hygiene applications: 1600 per day, Prague will release a million for rewards
“We are outraged by what is happening,” Deputy Mayor Pavel Vyhnánek (Prague Sobě) told reporters on Monday. “On behalf of the entire City Council, I would like to show the absolute support and solidarity of the Prague Hygiene Station, facing an unprecedented vicious attack initiated by Daniel Landa and his followers. Hygiene is currently at full capacity. Now we are facing another stress in the form of flooding e-mails and data boxes with thousands of purposeful and meaningless requests for information, “he added.
Last Friday alone, according to the municipality’s management, the sanitary station received 1,600 applications. “It’s an incredible number and really paralyzing,” Vyhnánek said. According to Councilor Milena Johnová (Prague Sobě), there may be more of them, because the hygienists did not receive all the requests due to the failure.
According to John, people overwhelm hygienists with questions about, for example, how many inspections were carried out on which day. “It’s often things that have no justification,” John said. Several requests also come from one person at a time.
Although the station does not fall under the municipality, according to Vyhnánek, the city management decided to thank the hygienists for their work. “We will prepare a press for the next council, which will release one million crowns from budget reserves. I hope that once Daniel Landa and all those who overwhelm hygiene realize what they have done, they will at least be warmed by the feeling that thanks to them the hygiene station will get these funds, “said Vyhnánek.
Impact on schools?
Hygiene overcrowding can also affect schools. “If (hygienists) have to deal with these cases, there is a risk that children who have not tested positive will be quarantined again. They will not have time to devise a methodology and system so as to guarantee a safe environment and at the same time send as few children as possible to the domestic quarantine, “said Councilor Vít Šimral (Pirates). According to the councilor, he was discovered in 300 schools, ie about three quarters of Prague schools, in a recent comprehensive testing of pupils.
Initiative in the call entitled “Involve relevant hygiene” announced government measures to slow the current rapid increase in the number of infected, hospitalized and deaths on covid-19, unconstitutional. “We ask each of you to calmly and repeatedly ask KHS about the current inspection. The work of hygiene stations to prepare answers will certainly be more useful for our citizens than the senseless bullying of self-employed people, service providers and their customers, “the initiative wrote.
The call has already been criticized by medical unions, which have called the attack on hygiene disgusting. The Ministry of Health has decided to file a criminal complaint on suspicion of sabotage.
Regional hygiene stations have been busier since last March due to the pandemic. Instead of a regular agenda, they focus on tracing infected contacts or checking compliance with anti-epidemic measures.
