Several doctors and healthcare officials at government hospitals continue to be away from work as they were detected with COVID-19. While there is no interruption in Out Patient or elective services, the waiting time for patients to avail the facilities got a little longer.
At least 33 senior and junior doctors out of the around 50 at Government General and Chest Hospital, Erragadda, and over 30 out of 100 of them at Government ENT Hospital were diagnosed with COVID. They are under isolation for seven days.
In this current situation where people are getting infected or re-infected despite full vaccination, the doctors are hoping they test positive in turns, so that this does not hit medical services.
