Braga Youth Centre doors open for health professionals
The Braga Youth Centre continues to support health professionals who are on the frontline in the fight against COVID-19. The unit will receive, exclusively, the professionals who choose not to make physical contact with their families. The initiative to support these professionals extends until 28 February.
After ensuring about 1000 overnight stays for doctors (44%), nurses (44%) and auxiliary staff (12%), during the first pandemic wave, and with health professionals already choosing to stay overnight at the premises of the Youth Centre of Braga, InvestBraga moved forward with the suspension of overnight stays of guests not linked to the areas of fighting the pandemic, and will now operate exclusively as support for health professionals.
"At a time when we are facing a second wave of the pandemic and health professionals are still in the front line in the fight against Covid-19, it is essential to maintain support structures and back-up. It is in this sense that we are again making the Youth Centre of Braga available for free", said the Mayor of Braga and InvestBraga, Ricardo Rio, who added that "this is a crucial moment in the fight against the pandemic, so it is necessary to take exceptional measures to support those who are working to provide all health care to our community.
Carlos Silva, director of InvestBraga, pointed out that "the suspension of nights spent by guests that do not work in the front line in the fight against COVID-19 will allow the space to serve as a solution for health professionals, ensuring all safety conditions so that they can recover from the moments of fatigue to which they have been subjected".
With 26 rooms available to accommodate doctors, nurses and auxiliary staff, those interested in accessing the accommodation should contact the Braga Youth Centre trought the email address cjb@investrabaga.com or by telephone 253 148 682.
