The outbreak of the corona virus has now been a major appeal to all healthcare personnel for more than a month. The challenge is very great and very stressful both psychologically and physically. Many hospitals have still withdrawn all leave to be able to care for people infected with the corona virus.
Not only the health care workers, but also other care providers and employees in essential professions are dragged into an unseen hectic or at least unknown territory where fear for the health of themselves and loved ones is suppressed for the benefit of the community.
They also deserve an additional moral boost during this Corona crisis. We are thinking, for example, and therefore not limited to department store personnel, pharmacists, garbage collectors, etc. We are also mentioned as crucial and necessary in this crisis and we do everything we can to fulfill our assigned role as best as possible. Fill, but this is about our respect for others.
They are our “guardian angels”, since the beginning of the crisis. In this era of a global pandemic which is not sparing any country in the world, health workers are working hard, despite the very real risks of finding themselves infected. Le Devoir wanted to pay homage to them, immortalizing their dedication in the field.
The nursing staff, “it is the apple of our eye, I want to thank everyone today for the considerable effort people are making and telling that we are behind them, “she added during the government’s daily press briefing on COVID-19.
However, nurses and doctors are worried. They fear being contaminated in turn by sick patients. Especially since it is the race currently in the hospitals of entire world to arrange negative pressure rooms. Not to mention the supply of surgical masks which are dwindling in several family medicine groups (GMF).
Meanwhile, healthcare workers contract the novel coronavirus. At Maisonneuve-Rosemont hospital, the emergency manager received a positive diagnosis of COVID-19. He has since been placed in isolation at home. At the CHUM, a pulmonologist was also infected after examining patients. He also came home.
At the CHU Sainte-Justine, again a member of staff was infected, having no other choice but to quarantine. All those who have been in contact with him (doctors, patients, etc.) have been contacted by the establishment, it is said.
Never mind, there are fewer players in the field. These are key players in the urgent fight against this new virus. It would have been impossible to stem the crisis without the support of healthcare workers. Hundreds of them were sent to the front lines.
There is requirement of let them feel privileged and reward and honor them in any form. The prime minister of Italy, France, India and many other countries of the world asks their citizens of countries to clap for them for 5 minutes. It was kind of tribute. The hospitals and the states are also using the custom made commemorative coins in order to honor the first responders: the real heroes amongst us!
