Gupta brought the problem of COVID-19 testing schedule, lack of PPE kits at CD hospital and Govt. Hospital Sarwal and overall health related issues. He apprised the Financial commissioner that there are many persons who are awaiting their reports since 11th of May, thus keeping them in the quarantine centers.
“The doctors have been active round-the-clock in full capacity. They are not only deployed in the hospitals but also in containment zones and hotspots, quarantine centers, testing centers besides visiting home quarantined persons and doing their regular duties and emergency services. It is important to note that the risk to doctors is not just to that on-duty but also to their families, which include young children and aged parents,” he pointed out.
