Due to the partial improvement of the capacity situation, especially in the segment of the severe course of the COVID-19 disease , as of today we are recalling the Mass Disability Status of Persons. Nevertheless, the hospital continues to admit several patients with more severe COVID-19 course every day. The entire internal medicine ward and part of one surgery ward continue to be fully occupied with COVID-19 positive patients.
"What we have been most concerned about in recent weeks has been the treatment of patients with a severe course of COVID-19 requiring artificial pulmonary ventilation and induction of an artificial sleep state. We still have a significant number of these patients in the hospital, but the condition of most of them is slowly improving, so we expect that the number of such affected people will decrease in the future, provided that the hygienic and epidemiological measures that will limit the spread of the virus in the population continue to be maintained," said Michal Průša , MD, Director of the Hořovice Hospital.
"We would very much like to meet the needs of our other patients and therefore we will gradually start to resume normal care in the coming weeks. Starting next week , we will begin with routine surgery, which we will expand in the future so that we can gradually operate on patients whose procedures we were forced to postpone," described the director.
The hospital will continue to operate according to its capacity. In the coming months, the occupancy of COVID-19 beds will remain high with positive patients, so to reduce the number of these patients as much as possible, we are also expanding vaccination capacity. We have virtually completed the second doses for the first wave of vaccinations, which included senior citizens. Now our vaccination centre will vaccinate about 250 people every day, including Saturdays and Sundays.
The interval between the first and second dose for the Pfizer and Moderna products has been extended to 42 days, thus achieving the ability to vaccinate more patients at the same time with the first dose, thus reducing the risk of infection and minimizing the severity of the infection.
"I would like to remind you that the criteria for inclusion in the risk group of patients are generally known to practitioners and if the patient meets these criteria, he or she will receive a code to log into the system," said Michal Průša, MD.
Before vaccination, please fill in the form that must be handed in before the vaccine is administered. Bringing the completed questionnaire with you will ensure a faster administrative process before vaccination.
