The director of the clinic ensures that the supplies sent to them per week and donations protect the staff, but what they lack is health workers and they are recruiting

Most work in other hospitals. In addition, being on the street is a high risk of getting it. So far in the contingency, there have been three deaths in that medical unit.
The directive called on the population to stay home. It is the best way to help curb the contagion and avoid exposing your life.

But he assured that all the staff that works with Covid-19 patients are given all the clothing and accessories for their protection. He added that they are in a phase that multiplies the demand for supplies.
However, with those who send the central address every week and donations, the demand is met.
