Doctors tell of ‘struggles’ in worst-hit aged care facilities
Emergency field doctor Professor John Moloney says residents are being taken to hospital in a very frail state
Doctors have described the challenging conditions inside Melbourne’s worst-affected aged care facilities.
They have shared how some patients were left dead in their beds for six hours at one home.
In addition, many coronavirus-positive residents were also suffering from dehydration, malnutrition and pneumonia, one told The Australian.
As of Friday more than 900 active COVID-19 cases had been connected to aged care facilities in Victoria, with many residents transferred to public and private hospitals for care.
