COVID-19 'Attacks' Medical Officers, Now 23 Health Workers Of RSHS Bandung Exposed To Corona

BANDUNG - As many as 23 health workers at the Hasan Sadikin Central General Hospital (RSHS) Bandung, West Java were exposed to COVID-19. They are now getting treatment in accordance with the complaints experienced.

"On the eighth day of June 2021, 23 (health workers) were exposed to COVID-19. However, not all of them underwent treatment at the hospital. The cases were asymptomatic or mild," said Acting Director of Medical, Nursing and Support Services RSHS Bandung, Dr. Yana Akhmad Supriatna quoted by Antara, Tuesday, June 8th.

He said this was part of the increase in cases that occurred after Eid al-Fitr or Lebaran 2021.

However, Yana ensured that the RSHS Bandung service was not disturbed by the findings of the case because dozens of health workers were not in one work service unit.

In addition, the management of RSHS Bandung has also made efforts to prevent the spread of the virus among internal employees.

"Hopefully there won't be a spike or close one service," he said.

When asked about the increase in cases affecting the occupancy rate of patient beds, currently, 112 of the 224 available beds have been filled with COVID-19 patients.

Meanwhile, the occupancy of beds for critical COVID-19 patients in the intensive room is 34 beds out of 40 existing units.

Approximately 90 percent of the beds in the intensive room are occupied while the other two beds are reserved for backup.

"Anticipate if there is a spike in cases by adding facilities and infrastructure. Including adding isolation rooms for COVID-19 patients," said Yana.
