In New Sanzhary, Health of Foreign Woman Evacuated from China Deteriorates
Her deterioration is not related to coronavirus and is an exacerbation of a gastroenterological disease.
On the evening of February 22, a foreign national who had been evacuated from China and placed in quarantine at a sanatorium in Novye Sanzhary complained of abdominal pain. This was reported by the Ministry of Health on Facebook.
Medical workers made a preliminary diagnosis and state that it is not related to coronavirus or another respiratory disease.
Specialists carried out additional examinations and diagnostics and prescribed treatment. According to available information, the foreign national's chronic disease had flared up, but after medical care she felt better.
“Doctors arrived with a mobile ultrasound unit and special containers for taking samples. Poltava medics acted promptly. They entered, conducted a medical examination and left the observation facility in full compliance with sanitary rules,” — Deputy Health Minister Viktor Liashko said.
Other evacuees also show no signs of respiratory illness.
Recall that on February 20 a plane arrived in Ukraine with 45 Ukrainian citizens and 27 foreigners evacuated from Wuhan, China, due to a coronavirus outbreak. The arrivals were placed in the National Guard's “Novye Sanzhary” medical centre in Poltava Region, where they will spend 14 days in quarantine.
Local residents met the evacuees with protests: information spread among the population that infected, rather than healthy, Ukrainians had been brought to them. Stones were thrown at the bus carrying the evacuees. The president promised criminal liability for the riots in New Sanzhary.
On February 22, information appeared that the incubation period of coronavirus may reach 27 days, rather than being limited to 14 days as previously believed. According to National Security and Defense Council Secretary Oleksiy Danilov, Ukraine does not currently intend to extend the quarantine period, which will remain 14 days.
