Waking up with this news for those in the first line of attention of the coronavirus generated great impotence, as they have shown feeling alone, both by hospital directors, by delegates and by the State Government itself, by not managing together enough equipment that allows them to attend to this pandemic safely.” These three comrades who have passed away were for not having their full teams. They’re leaving us alone, and the public is still on the street,” said one nurse, who asked to keep his identity. Fear
The IMSS staff who were interviewed say they feel repressed about this situation, as they cannot raise their voices because they may lose their jobs or can make changes to shifts that do not favor them, especially those with family. They consider it a pity not to be able to defend themselves against the injustices that are experienced within the COVID-19 areas. One of them is not to receive material, such as gloves, and to work with white suits reused because they are scarce, as well as with broken robes, and even simple fabric covers, which does not protect them from anything. Infected
In Sinaloa, 1,800 health workers who have been infected with coronavirus have died 21, according to the epidemiological report as of 24 June; not counting the three deaths this Friday. In the statistics, the nurse has the largest victim, with a total of 778 cases since the pandemic began: 520 doctors, 16 dentists, 39 laboratorists and 454 workers from other areas. The municipality of Culiacán is the one with the highest number of health personnel cases: 650 infected; Ahome is followed by 436. In the face of the increase in cases, the staff of the institutions are considering demonstrating peacefully next week to demand that they equip it with protective equipment. Affectations
