At least four people have been killed in a blaze at a hospital in Bucharest being used to treat COVID-19 patients, just three months after another hospital fire killed 10 people north of the Romanian capital.
The fire broke out at the Matei Bals Hospital in Bucharest, one of the city s largest, early on Friday. Three patients were found dead and a fourth died later, said Secretary of State at the Ministry of the Interior, Raed Arafat, adding that they were patients with Covid-19. About 120 patients who were in the same ward were evacuated, ISU spokesperson Bogdan Toma told AFP.
In November the hospital, also known as the National Insititute of Infectious Diseases, made headlines in Romania when images were published online showing overcrowded wards and patients having to be treated in corridors due to an influx of COVID-19 cases.
