Patients with respiratory problems arrive more frequently at Guayaquil hospitals, the winter season, Covid-19 and the ash fall from the Sangay volcano last weekend would be the main causes of the increase in these clinical pictures.
Doctors from hospitals that treat Covid-19 cases warn that several patients arrive at these health homes “very late”, when their symptoms have worsened. Therefore, many are taken directly to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), where the probability of death increases by 50%, according to experts.
With the ash fall and the winter season, people can present some respiratory affectations, however, doctors recommend going to hospitals as soon as possible.
At Hospital Bicentenario, an average of 80 to 100 patients with suspected Covid-19 are treated daily. Doctors from this health house confirm that many cases are often complicated because patients decide to take a pharmacological kit to mitigate the consequences of the coronavirus, instead of going to a doctor.
For their part, the authorities are closely monitoring what is happening in the sectors of Mucho Lote 2, Samanes, Guasmo sur, Fertisa, Malvinas and the Letamendi parish, places where the highest rate of positive infections is registered.
