Interview: “Social distancing is impossible” – Doctor working in Al-Hol camp on Corona prevention measures - Rojava Information Center
Several humanitarian actors have collectively set up an isolation section inside the camp for possible suspected cases. At the camp’s main gate, a nurse checks anyone entering the camp, controlling the temperature and any potential symptoms. If any symptoms are noticed, the person would be referred to the doctor in the main medical point where we will further diagnose the symptoms and decide about next steps. if they are Corona symptoms, the person will be referred then to the isolation section here. We have a special ambulance to transfer any reported case. Additionally, all employees here must wear protection equipment, masks, and gloves. Sometimes we lack this Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). We also disinfect our medical points twice a day in the morning and at the end of workday.
