The number of covid-19 infections is stabilising nationally, something felt in hospitals as well. At the Chem hospital in Esch-Alzette, several nurses talk about the relief of resuming a more normal activity after a period of physical and mental strain.
There’s an air of relief in the corridors of the Center hospitalier Emile Mayrisch (Chem). “It’s calm today. There are fewer cases at the national level,” says Daniel Cardao, director of the institution.
It’s visible in the emergency room, strangely empty at the start of the morning of Tuesday 19 January. Patients are greeted in the old ambulance hall and triaged between covid and non-covid. Their temperature is taken, blood oxygen levels and blood pressure are checked, before the patients are directed to the green elevator for conventional emergencies, or the red for covid emergencies.
