Weet wat om julle aangaan, weet waar en hoe dit met geliefdes gaan, veral oues van dae en ander wat versorgend is, daar is heelwat om hieroor uit te brei. Tref reelings vir die “sluit” van strate , oues van dae besoek word of voedsel voor geneem word. Om ou mense af te sonder is nie altyd die beste oplossing om dan te dink met algehele sluiting is die oues en ander selfversorgend. Dit het nie in Spanje gebeur nie. Gaan besoek steeds jou geliefdes, al is dit van buite geboue, en doen aansoek vir die nodige toestemming om dit te doen.

Hoe weet enige een van ons of hulle regtig aan ‘n “virus” blootgestel was of “vermoor” is… Dis ‘n waarskuwingslig wat net aangaan. As jong mens of selfs ouer persoon verwag ‘n ou mens moet na hulself omsien, moenie so dink nie. Afsluiting is gevaarlik vir ou mense wat nie in staat is om na hulself om te sien, VERAL as die werkers die pad vat nie, of self siek kan raak.
Dit gaan altyd by mens spook soos nou, mens sien “getalle” en hoor geen name of geliefdes nie. Is dit waar of is dit nie waar nie? Laat hulle insluit by “buurtwagte” of sekuriteitsdienste wat betroubaar is.

Spanish soldiers deployed to help fight the new coronavirus outbreak have found elderly patients abandoned, and sometimes dead, at retirement homes, as an ice rink inside a Madrid shopping mall was turned into a temporary morgue to cope with a surge in cases.
The army has been charged with helping to disinfect retirement homes in Spain, one of the countries worst hit by the pandemic. Dozens of deaths from COVID-19 have been recorded at facilities across the country.
“We are going to be strict and inflexible when dealing with the way old people are treated in these residences,” Defence Minister Margarita Robles said in an interview with private television channel Telecinco.
“We will exercise the most intensive monitoring of these centres.”
Under coronavirus protocols, health workers have been instructed to leave bodies in place in suspected COVID-19 deaths until the arrival of a doctor. But given the upsurge in deaths the delay can be lengthy.

6 Alan Loughnane This is heartbreaking. Spanish soldiers, who are helping the country during the Covid-19 outbreak which has hit the county hard in recent weeks, have reported they’ve found elderly patients in retirement homes abandoned, and in some cases, dead in their beds. “We are going to be strict and inflexible when dealing with the way old people are treated in these residences,” Defence Minister Margarita Robles said in an interview on Monday. She said that members of the specialist Military Emergencies Unit had found the corpses as they carried out their duties.
“The army, during certain visits, found some old people completely abandoned, sometimes even dead in their beds,” she added. An investigation into the incidents has been launched and the general prosecutor in Spain has been notified. She warned that anyone ignoring their responsibilities would be prosecuted and said such actions would not be tolerated.

The Covid-19 outbreak has now claimed 2,182 lives in the country on Monday – up from 1,720 on Sunday – while the number of confirmed cases has increased from 28,572 to 33,089. Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez said on Sunday that the number of diagnosed cases would rise in the coming days”pushing capacities to the limit”. He announced on Sunday that the government wants to extend the state of emergency for another 15 days.

The elderly are especially vulnerable in the global pandemic and officials around the world are increasingly calling for extreme measures to safeguard them.
Retirement homes are “an absolute priority for the government,“ Health Minister Salvador Illa told a press conference.
“We will exercise the most intensive monitoring of these centres.”
