She told about this to Ir.
Even the most stringent infection control restrictions will not improve the situation in the country's hospitals, she said.
“In fact, we are in a situation where there are problems with hospitalization of emergency patients - in many hospitals the admissions departments are closed, many hospitals have stopped planned treatment, and in the coming days, most likely, it will be stopped throughout the country.
To a certain extent, there are already signs of a collapse in the system ... Perhaps this is not quite a collapse yet, but we are close to this state, "TASS quotes her.
She also added that the situation is complicated by the fact that the doctors themselves are sick.
Earlier, the head of Roszdravnadzor, Irina Seryogina, at the XI All-Russian Congress of Patients, said that in a number of Russian regions there is a shortage of beds for patients with the new coronavirus infection COVID-19.
