And while it's good to hear of so many recovered, we know there are many also in the COVID unit at the KHMH. For their families it is a scary and sad time - and that family includes the medical community since a 42 year old doctor from the western region is among them.
The Director of Health Services discussed his case among the dozens of front-line healthcare workers who have been infected:
Dr. Marvin Manzanero, Director of Health Services
"In terms of health care workers, I do think we need to make this situation clearly visible for everybody, unfortunately we have our epidemiologist from the western health region has been intubated and is connected to a ventilator at Karl Heusner, that happened yesterday that is after he was there for 24 hours. The total number of persons we have in terms of health care workers that have been tested positive for SARS-COVID 2 is now 36, 10 of those have been in private sector, 26 in the public sector, 1 person has recovered from the private sector and 2 persons have recovered from the public sector."
