Well, that's pretty screwed up. For comparison Czech hospitals also scrapped anything non essential during the worst part of the local outbreak, both to have capacity for treating coronavirus patients and to reduce the chance of infection spreading through hospitals. At the same time a strong lockdown was done country wide.

This was apparently effective with cases limited to a few clusters at the moment & most of the lockdown restrictions removed by now.

Were the hospitals affected ? They did report funding shortfals right after the lockdown due to all the cancelled elective procedures, so the ministry of health simply gave them extra money to cover the lockdown loses. And at the moment most hospitals are back to normal workflow.

Also, the people involved in directly handling the infection got bonuses as a thank you for doing the needed but dangerous work.
