Coronavirus – New quarantine hospital has been set up in Budapest
Change language:
In order to meet capacity demands due to the coronavirus, a new quarantine hospital has been set up in the tower building of Kútvölgyi Clinical Centre. The idea was proposed by the Minister of Home Affairs, Sándor Pintér, who is among the leaders of the Operative Staff.
Some days ago, Miklós Kásler, the head of the Human Resources Department, already declared that the quarantine building of Szent László Hospital will be expanded later on. However, there had been no mention about the involvement of Kútvölgyi Clinical Centre. Therefore, it was quite surprising when construction workers suddenly appeared at the hospital.
According to Hungarian news portal 24, –
the renovation of the uppermost floors started last Friday by more than a hundred workers.
The idea of renovating the tower building of Kútvölgyi Hospital surfaced a long time ago, in 2015. One year later, the restoration process started. However, the project terminated soon due to legal conflicts.
nice move but i dont understand how do they quarantine people in 5 and 6 bedded room!! quarantine means absolute isolation.
Cherif Bensaid you are absolutely right, but our government is completely incompetent and the truly knowledgeable professionals have already been largely removed from their positions.
