Marijana Smolović, assistant director of the Old People's Home in Bijelo Polje, spoke for Boje jutra about the measures to prevent the coronavirus that are being implemented in this institution.
"We found out via the Internet that there was an outbreak of the coronavirus in numerous homes for the elderly in other countries, which is why we immediately adopted a large number of measures to prevent this from happening in our institution," says Smolović.
She explains that a space for isolation was provided on time, mandatory wearing of equipment was prescribed, hygiene measures were increased, but also the number of visits was reduced.
"We made a decision to isolate employees who work with users, while other employees work from home, thereby reducing the possibility of contact, and thus the possibility of infection," announced Smolović.
As he says, there are currently 185 users from all over Montenegro staying in the Old People's Home in Bijelo Polje, and for now there are no cases of coronavirus.
She adds that seven specialist doctors are currently employed in the home, one of whom is an epidemiologist, so they have taken all the previous protection measures in consultation with him.
"Home visits are prohibited, and our users communicate with their loved ones by phone, and we do our best to ensure that their activities take place regularly and that there is no fear or panic," concludes Smolović.
