Not only was there an increase in the number of people waiting to have their Covid-19 tests at the hospital today, there was quite a stir outside the emergency rooms, where several ambulances had to wait before their patients were allowed treatment.
A source suggested to JM that all those waiting in ambulances were Covid-19 patients, who were initially treated by ‘advanced triage nurses’ before being admitted into the Dr. Nélio Mendonça Hospital.
Interestingly, a backlash against the unvaccinated is beginning to stir on the internet comments pages. Many shocked at the rising figures, are now blaming those who refuse to be vaccinated, and those who blatantly disregard all pandemic health and safety measures.
