Clinic boss promotes Lockdown – salzburg.ORF.at
“The important thing is that when you end the lockdown, it stays that way. And we don’t have to go into lockdown again on January 6th or 7th. That is counterproductive. “
“Decline has not arrived in hospitals”
“Sustainability” should be decisive, said Sungler on Thursday at a press conference via livestream. He doesn’t believe that. With the pressure that. Christmas is coming and the shops want to open, they will be unlocked again. The slight decline in the number of infections in the hospitals has not yet arrived. If the decline is really confirmed, it can be manifested in the hospitals in a week. That is currently not the case.
59 of 68 intensive care patients not vaccinated
Around 68 CoV intensive care beds are currently available across the country; 48 beds were occupied on Thursday. Of these patients, nine were vaccinated and 50 percent were under 65 years of age, said Sungler. 201 Covid patients are currently being cared for in the normal wards.
What also makes him “very worried” is that the intensive care units in the Tauern Clinic and in the Hospital of the Barmherzige Brüder are “absolutely full”, at the Barmherzigen Brothers “overfull with a patient”, the SALK managing director, who is also head of the CoV State medical staff is. Of the six intensive care beds in each case, one bed is occupied by a CoV patient in the Tauern Clinic, while the Barmherzigen Brothers have two CoV patients in the intensive care unit. .
Sungler calls for penalties against demonstrators
Sungler has no understanding for demonstrations in front of hospitals by opponents of the Corona regulations. From his point of view – as in other countries, for example in Canada – there must be high penalties if demonstrations are carried out in front of hospitals. This has no place in front of a hospital, despite all the understanding of freedom of expression and freedom of demonstration: “Here are patients who need protection, rest and care, and employees who are currently facing the greatest demands. They are just fed up with having to deal with it. “
One is in contact with the state government and the interior ministry in this regard.
Clinic staff whistled
Last weekend, opponents of CoV politics, the lockdown and the mandatory vaccination in front of the entrances to the University Hospital in Salzburg whistled the doctors and nursing staff and chanted “resistance”. For a ban mile against rallies in front of hospitals required by the SPÖ, however, the assembly law would have to be changed.
As a countermeasure, the ÖVP announced solidarity rallies for the hospital staff at the university hospital entrances for the remaining weekends this year. If someone still wants to register a demo there, this can only be approved by the authorities 50 meters away.
