Clinic spokesman Johannes Schwamberger said there could be shifts, especially in areas with many acute patients. “But we’re really talking about isolated operations,” he said when asked by “Krone”, “no comparison to Corona times.” Even non-emergency patients who were in pain or whose condition was getting worse would definitely case operated. You look at each case individually. As an example of an operation that could be postponed, Schwamberger cited the removal of a piece of metal that was used for stabilization after an injury.
