Few Covid-19 patients in the private nurses of Eure-et-Loir

“The hospitals had announced, ten days ago, a massive discharge of Covid patients, but we do not see them,” said a liberal nurse from Chartres. Out of eight Chartrain firms contacted, only three people are followed for Covid consequences and one for suspicion.

One month’s confinement would have prevented 61,000 deaths in France

A situation that relieves the Eurelian nurses, for whom the follow-up of these patients looked very heavy.

“Butcher blouses”

Each time she enters a person diagnosed with “Covid positive”, the nurse must wear full protective clothing: glasses, mask, visor, overcoat, overshoes, which must be removed before leaving the home. “For five minutes of treatment, it’s a monumental waste of equipment,” said a liberal nurse. Especially since the protection kits are missing.

“For example, in my office, we shoot with butcher’s coats, offered by a supermarket. So, as the analysis laboratories have developed drives to take the samples, the nurses use the D system. So, when a Covid patient only needs a blood sugar measurement or an intramuscular injection, the nurse offers to take the tip of her finger or her leg out the door. Or in the garden, if the person lives in a detached house. “We are careful not to expose the person,” said the Charlevoix nurse.

Today, liberal nurses are waiting for a possible second wave of patients, which could happen with deconfinement.
