(Fighting against New Coronary Pneumonia) Kazakhstan's capital outbreak is approaching the upper limit of anti-epidemic medical resource load
China News Agency, Nur-Sultan, June 17 (Reporter Wen Longjie) Kazakhstan’s new crown pneumonia epidemic has been deteriorating recently. The head of the public health department in the country’s capital, Nur-Sultan, Jishikova, responded at a news conference on the 17th The media said that the designated hospital in Nur-Sultan New Coronary Pneumonia has approached the "full load" limit.
Gishkova pointed out that as of the morning of the 17th, 1711 patients had been treated in the Nur Sultan Infectious Disease Hospital and Temporary Hospital, which reached 90% of the capacity of the new coronary pneumonia designated hospital. In order to cope with the spread of the epidemic, Nur-Sultan’s new coronavirus testing laboratory has been increased from 1 to 8.
According to Gishkova, 91% of the patients with new coronary pneumonia admitted to the hospital were moderately severe patients, and 10% were critically ill patients who needed to enter the ICU ward immediately. The number of patients who need to use a ventilator is four times that of the initial outbreak.
"The epidemic situation in the capital is deteriorating." Gishkova said that in the past night, the New Coronary Pneumonia Clinic received 427 emergency calls, eight times the initial outbreak. Whether doctors, nurses, or other medical staff engaged in the prevention and treatment of new coronary pneumonia are overloaded, this "state of emergency" has lasted for three months.
Gishkova emphasized that in recent days, the number of newly diagnosed cases per day in Nur-Sultan has been around 150, and this high-speed growth is related to the “indifference and indifference” of the people. The public is quite inadequate in understanding the seriousness of the epidemic, ignoring and failing to comply with the relevant epidemic prevention regulations.
Gishkova expressed concern about the future anti-epidemic situation in Nur-Sultan. She said that if the people still do not strictly abide by the epidemic prevention regulations and carry out self-isolation, the number of infected people will continue to rise, which will lead to a shortage of medical personnel and hospital beds. At that time, "Nur Sultan will repeat the situation in Italy. The patient can only lie in the corridor of the hospital, and he lacks both a ventilator and medical staff."
Because young people account for the majority of newly diagnosed cases, Gishkova also specially warned the public that young people who are physically strong are likely to be knocked down by the virus. Don’t think that you can heal yourself at home, young people should change On the issue of epidemic prevention, a "great attitude".
Kazakhstan’s capital Nur-Sultan and the largest city Almaty are Kazakhstan’s epidemic “severely affected areas”. The number of confirmed diagnoses in Nur-Sultan is less than that in Almaty, ranking second in Kazakhstan, but its death toll ranks first in Kazakhstan. As of the morning of the 17th, there were a total of 2951 patients with clinical symptoms in Nur-Sultan, 774 patients with asymptomatic patients, a total of 3725 cases; a total of 2089 cases were cured, and a total of 15 deaths.
The outbreak in Kazakhstan in mid-March is now the country with the largest number of diagnoses and deaths in Central Asia. On May 11, Kazakhstan ended the national emergency and gradually lifted the isolation control measures. Since then, the epidemic has rebounded, and the number of newly diagnosed cases in recent days has reached a record high.
The confirmation of multiple senior officials made the situation of the plague out of optimism. The lower house of the Kazakh parliament released news on the 17th that the speaker of the lower house of the Kazakh parliament, Negmatullin, was diagnosed with the new coronavirus. In addition, President Kazakhstan’s spokesperson, health minister and a deputy minister were diagnosed a few days ago. At the same time, several government officials including the Prime Minister of Kazakhstan, the Minister of National Defense, the Minister of Agriculture, the Minister of Education and Science are now segregating themselves.
