Are there any patients with coronavirus in Zelenograd?

Unfortunately, as in all districts of Moscow, we have COVID-19. This was reported by the deputy chief physician of the Zelenograd hospital Irina Yarotskaya.

- Zelenograd residents, in whom a coronavirus with clinical manifestations of moderate or high severity was detected, were sent to specialized hospitals. At home, patients with minor symptoms are treated - weakness, malaise. They are quarantined under the supervision of doctors, keep a diary and follow the instructions of specialists. Each of our outpatient departments has special teams working with diseased coronavirus. These specialists underwent appropriate training and received certificates. Also, certain groups of health workers oversee residents with questionable test results. And there are doctors and nurses who work out planned home visits and provide assistance to patients with other diseases. These employees do not overlap with COVID teams.

Treatment of a mild form of coronavirus infection is not much different from treatment for flu. It is impossible, and it is not necessary to hospitalize everyone. This distracts the physicians from the seriously ill patients who really need emergency care. Today everyone can help us in the fight against aggressive infection. It is enough to take the situation seriously, observe the regime of self-isolation, preventive measures and follow the recommendations of doctors.
