Emergency declared in Latvian health system over rising COVID-19 hospitalizations – Famagusta Gazette

A state of emergency was declared in the Latvian health system on Thursday as hospitals were struggling to cope with the high number of incoming COVID-19 patients, Health Ministry official Daina Murmane-Umbrasko said at a news conference. The decision to declare the emergency was taken not by the government but a panel of health experts and heads of Latvia’s hospitals, the State Operative Medical Commission, in order to expand the powers of hospital administrations, authorizing them to reorganize the medical institutions so that they can take in more patients. The state of emergency in the health sector means that medical institutions will have more freedom in managing their resources. Hospital staff that normally do not handle infectious disease patients can now be involved in treating COVID-19 patients and medical workers on vacation can be recalled to stand in for colleagues who are sick or in quarantine.
