“The doctor who saw us when our son fell ill said that there were many cases among children, but she was not allowed to communicate that it was COVID-19”, Jacek Medonet told. «Everything is swept under the rug. It chilled us a bit »- he admits. What does the Ministry of Health say? Here is the answer to the inquiry sent by us.

  1. Doctors do not tell parents that it is a coronavirus and do not report it above – Jacek believes
  2. “The doctor put it in such a way that there is a top-down command to suggest sinusitis, seasonal infections, possibly severe allergy courses” – says
  3. The Ministry of Health emphasizes that it did not make any recommendations to doctors regarding “not informing” about SARS-CoV-2 infection. “Moreover, it is definitely the opposite of such behavior”

“The doctor said she is not allowed to communicate that it is COVID-19”

We recently published Jacek’s story on MedTvoiLokony. A 36-year-old man told us how he and his entire family (wife and two young children) contracted COVID-19 and what happened to them while visiting a doctor.

The first problem he noticed was that the doctor refused to refer them for SARS-CoV-2 tests. This issue was explained to us by the Ministry of Health.

The man also talks about another matter that worries him. «The doctor who saw us after my son fell ill and had to see a specialist, said that there are many cases among children, but she is not allowed to communicate that it is COVID-19. Doctors do not tell parents that it is a coronavirus and do not report it above »- says Jacek, adding: “The doctor put it that there is a top-down command to suggest sinusitis, seasonal infections, possibly severe allergies. It’s absurd »emphasizes the man.

Jacek talked about the situation with his friends. «The first thing they heard from the two doctors was ‘you have the flu, sinusitis’. Nobody even suggested any tests (…) I am far from conspiracy theories, but it looks ugly »- he emphasizes.

Doctors are bound by a “top-down recommendation”? The Ministry of Health responds

Is it possible that doctors are under a “top-down recommendation not to communicate that it is a coronavirus”? We asked the Ministry of Health to respond to the situation described by Jacek. We received a firm answer.

«The Ministry of Health did not issue any recommendations to doctors regarding the« not informing »about SARS-CoV-2 infection, what is more, it is definitely against such behavior. It is a denial of medical ethics and a violation of patients’ rights ”.

The ministry also asked for “indication of the medical entity concerned”.
