And it was found that four doctors from the neurosurgery ward were infected with strokes with the Corona virus. In this case, admission to the ward has been suspended since yesterday until further notice.

– In connection with the above, we kindly request you to refer patients with neurological diseases to the neighboring centres – we read in the letter. The document was to the Marshal’s Office in Katowice or the Bielsko Rescue Service, but also to the Beskid Oncology Center – Municipal Hospital in Bielsko-Biała and the Railway Hospital in Wielkovice Bistra. Both institutions have liquidated neurology departments in their structures in recent years. The reason was the lack of medical staff.
