Coronavirus experiences add to pressure for healthcare workers
The memory of seeing dozens of coronavirus-infected senior citizens isolated at a nursing home in northern Spain haunts Juan González.
“I barely get a couple of hours of sleep. I wake up in a panic, startled,” he said recently at Transinsa, an emergency transport service with 150 ambulances. Healthcare workers wearing protective suits tend to COVID-19 patients at the Vall d’Hebron hospital in Barcelona, Spain. The country is among those hardest-hit by the coronavirus.
Emergency service centers throughout Spain and elsewhere receive calls all day, with numbers much higher in recent weeks because of the coronavirus.“All the centers are overloaded at the moment. We have a lot of calls from the elderly, people up to 103 years old,” said Eva Salas, head of the Transinsa ambulance service coordination center based in the city of Oviedo, in the Asturias region.
