Junck told RTL Radio the recent increase in new infections has caused concern among Luxembourg’s hospitals, but they are prepared for a potential second wave.
All necessary materials are available and staff within the sector can benefit from the experience gained since the pandemic began. However, they are still faced with the challenge of finding new qualified staff - around 80-100 additional employees are required.
Junck said it was also important that people who are ill know they are not putting themselves at risk by going to hospital if they are suffering from an illness other than coronavirus. Hospitals are not virus centrifuges, explained Junck, who hoped to spread the reassuring message among the public.
