Ten Medical Staff Quarantined After Trauma Patient Tests Positive for Coronavirus

Five doctors and five nurses of the Trauma Hospital in Tirana were quarantined after taking care of an injured person infected with COVID-19.

It is not yet known whether medical personnel were infected with COVID-19 and the quarantine measures have been taken as a precaution. The media reported that they will take the test after 5 days, as the virus is in the incubation period and cannot be detected at this stage.

The infected person was involved in a car accident 3 days ago in Durrës and was taken to the Durrës hospital and then to the Trauma Hospital.

Doctors suspected that the young man was infected with COVID-19, and after he tested positive they sent him to the Infectious Diseases Hospital.
