Original title: At least 6 firefighters diagnosed with the new crown in the rescue of collapsed apartments in Florida
Sing Tao Global News:China News Service, July 4th. According to the US Chinese website, in July and March local time, the director of the Miami-Dade County Fire Department Allen Kominsky stated that the search and rescue work was carried out at the collapse of the Surfside apartment building. At least 6 of the firefighters tested positive for the new crown.
According to reports, Kominsky stated that members of the Florida Task Force outside of Miami-Dade reported positive test results. Kominsky said that the team then left the area, and all the remaining 424 Florida team members were tested for the new crown.
Kominsky said officials will “continue to monitor” the situation, “We have prepared medical procedures.” “Unfortunately, this is another challenge, but we have been dealing with this issue for the past year. “
The search and rescue work at the accident site is still going on. The death toll from the accident has risen to 24, and 124 people are still missing. The demolition of the remaining buildings is about to start.
Florida Governor DeSantis said that it is expected that parts of the buildings that still stand will be demolished before Tropical Storm Elsa hits the state.
In addition, Miami-Dade County Sheriff Daniela Levin Cava said on the 4th that in addition to the missing residents, search and rescue personnel are also looking for pets of residents in the rubble.
“I understand very well that pets are also family members,” Kava said at a press conference. “I just want you to know that we are making more efforts.”
Kava said that rescuers have been told where pets may be found, but for safety reasons they cannot conduct door-to-door searches on the remaining buildings of the building. Rescuers have scanned three times with the camera, but no animals have been found.
