At local emergency in isolation room

Husband came home from work with major pains in his abdomen . After not being able to subside the pain we decided to take him to emerge . He is not one to complain of pain and has a very high tolerance . They admitted him right away and dosed him with pain medication and gravel . They think it is kidney stones .so they gave him a screen to pee through and took a urine sample and did some blood work and said they will do a CT scan of his abdomen
My local hospital is usually packed with patients waiting for hours to be seen because they are usually over crowded . I saw entire wards of empty beds with nurse stations manned with nurses with no one to care for . This is most likely because people in my city are scared to catch the Coronavirus .
Here is the strange thing . They put us in an isolation room ? Why on earth would they put us in here for a kidney stone if entire wards are empty ? Mabey this is a new precaution the province is taking ? I’m not sure . I do know as soon as I realized I grabbed the disinfectant wipes and started going crazy wiping everything down ! I’m trying to stay calm in here but I can’t help but think that someone who they thought had the virus was housed in this room.... so far my province has had 0 confirmed cases but NB heath care is terribly disorganized and underfunded . So I would imagine they prob only tested them once and let them go .
I’m staying in here with my husband tonight as they have admitted him and I won’t leave him .
