In Barranquilla, the coronavirus continues to claim the lives of personnel associated with the health sector. On Saturday night, the Union of the Metropolitan University Hospital Foundation (Sintrafun) denounced the death of Luis González and Edinson Olmos because of this disease.
Through a video broadcast on social networks, José Camargo, president of the union, explained that the two deceased worked as maintenance workers in the aforementioned healthcare center.
Camargo also maintained that four workers are hospitalized and 16 more were sent home after being diagnosed as positive and / or presenting symptoms: “Some have not had the corresponding epidemiological tests or fences.”
The president of the FHUM union also called on the health authorities to “take action on the matter” due to the lack of resources and supplies for patient care in the midst of the health emergency.
