TIRANA, March 18 /ATA/ – Infectious disease doctor Tritan Kalo said on Wednesday that people should become all aware and comply with the measures designed to contain the spread of the COVID-19, allowing also doctors do their best and provide quality care service.
“People should increase their self-awareness and allow us the opportunity to cut off and break the virus transmission chain and put this disease evolution under control so that it doesn’t surpass the current and projected capacities to ensure best care service to every person who contracts COVID-19,” the leading infectious disease doctor said.
According to him, more than 84,000 people, or half of the infected patients in the world, have fully recovered from COVID-19.
“This is a sign and a cause for optimism for us that we will put an end and eliminate this insidious virus,” Kalo said.
Kalo underlined that 70 to 80% of infection cases show no symptoms. He said that 25 COVID-19 patients are currently hospitalized and three others are in the intensive care unit after being affected by the most severe form of the infection.
Kalo further noted the fact that not all people are aware of the virus spread and that they should lock down themselves is a matter of concern.
“Capacity scenarios have been projected in line with the evolution of virus cases. We should cut off the transmission chain as much as possible,” he appealed
