Ceban on the COVID Situation: I Can’t Keep Silent Watching Good People Failing to Handle It

The mayor of the capital has sharply criticized the government, accusing the authorities of failing to manage the pandemic crisis. At a press conference, Ion Ceban said that the increase in COVID-19 cases raises concerns, and if this continues, we will find ourselves in a situation with patients hospitalized in the corridors of hospitals, agora.md reports. “We have no hospital beds for COVID-19 patients. It is also necessary to identify new places for children. The Ministry of Health should change the COVID-19 treatment protocol and introduce treatment for severe forms at home,” Ion Ceban said. The Mayor General also asked the central authorities to allocate additional resources to buy equipment and drugs for the treatment of COVID-19, noting that 50% of the total number of citizens infected with coronavirus were hospitalized in medical institutions of the municipality. “I cannot be silent and watch how “good people” are not coping with the situation. I expected them to take responsibility. I have the impression that someone is hiding in the bushes waiting for this crisis to be over and for the citizens to notice nothing. Hospitals are overcrowded, people are dying,” Ion Ceban said. The mayor’s statements came after a joint meeting of the Chisinau Emergency Commission and the Chisinau Emergency Public Health Commission. Point
