Kandangan Hospital still waits for swab test result to open IGD

Kandangan, S Kalimantan (ANTARA) - Director of the District Hospital (RSUD) of Brigjend H Hasan Basry Kandangan doctor Rasyidah said she also wanted to quickly reopen IGD emergency service, but still waiting for the results of swab test of the facility's health workers.

She said, although the Emergency Room (IGD) service has to be temporarily closed because of its health workers were exposed to COVID, and still waiting for the results of the test, but clinic services are still open.

"The results of the test have not come out yet until today, but we have done the room sterilization," she said in a statement on Monday (June 15, 2020).

She said, sterilization was not as easy as usual rooms but only spraying. Here all beds and air conditioners (AC) must be opened, because the AC is centralized.

It was worried if germs or viruses attached to it, so the process was quite long. Until Monday it has been four days the emergency room was closed.

The management need two or three more days, especially the exposed health workers were human resources in the IGD and must wait for the test results.

"The results may be today or tomorrow, I personally want to reopen the IGD service, but of course I have to obey the applicable health protocol," she said.
