Two Safdarjung Doctors Assaulted For 'Spreading' Coronavirus
Two female doctors posted at Emergency Department of Delhi's Safdarjung Hospital say they were assaulted by a man who allegedly hit them and accused them of spreading Coronavirus.
Doctors, nurses and other medical staff across the world are struggling to save the lives of coronavirus patients but in our country, doctors on duty are facing discrimination on a regular basis.
Now, two women resident doctors posted in the emergency ward of Delhi’s Safdarjung Hospital have had to face misbehaviour in the Gautam Nagar area. The women doctors said that when they stepped out to buy fruits, their neighbour misbehaved with them while blaming them for spreading the coronavirus. The Delhi Police have arrested the neighbour after filing an FIR but attacks on doctors show no signs of stopping. Meanwhile, data shows that doctors and other medical staff have contracted the coronavirus in large numbers. Due to the negligence of a woman IAS officer posted in Madhya Pradesh, 50 health care workers have contracted the coronavirus in Bhopal so far. According to the MP government, there are a total of 93 patients in Bhopal. Among them, 50 are from the Health Department alone and 12 are police personnel. Apart from this, 20 patients are connected with the Tableeghi Jamaat. The infection has spread comprehensively among doctors and other staff posted at the Delhi State Cancer Institute as well. Over here, 21 people have been infected so far, among whom are doctors, nurses and other staff. According to the Delhi government, 45 staff members at the hospital have been quarantined and the test reports of 19 people are awaited. Amid this, a massive daily spike in the number of coronavirus patients is being recorded in the country. According to the latest data from the Health Ministry, the total number of patients in the country has reached 5,734. In the past 24 hours, 540 new patients have been found and 17 people have succumbed to the disease. The Health Ministry informed that out of the total patients, 472 have recovered but 5,095 patients are still struggling with the coronavirus infection. The first death due to the coronavirus has taken place in Jharkhand’s Bokaro. According to Mukesh Kumar, Deputy Commissioner, Bokaro, the patient was 75 years old.
