‘Do Not Delay Non Covid Medical Emergencies’
Noting that “much attention is rightly and currently on Covid-19,” the Bermuda Hospitals Board said that it is important to remember that people continue to have other medical emergencies, and urged the public “not to delay in getting medical attention for any medical emergency.”
A spokesperson said, “While much attention is rightly and currently on Covid-19 cases, it is important to remember that people continue to have other medical emergencies such as strokes, heart attacks, serious infections, etc. King Edward VII Memorial Hospital’s Emergency Department is open 24-hours every day and urges you not to delay in getting medical attention for any medical emergency you or a loved one may experience.
“Please call your doctor or 911, just as you would have before the Covid-19 pandemic. Your condition could worsen if you do not get immediate medical attention.”
