'Declare right reasons for deaths of patients undergoing COVID-19 treatment'
The Salem District Small Scale and Tiny Industries Association has urged the Chief Minister to direct officials to make reasons for deaths of patients under COVID-19 treatment clear and not to under-report deaths. In a petition to the Chief Minister, the association appreciated the welfare measures announced by the State and Central governments for COVID-19 orphaned children. The association said that several underprivileged persons have been affected due to COVID-19 disease and many have succumbed to it. The association charged that while the patients have succumbed while undergoing COVID-19 treatment, in death reports, the reason for death is mentioned as pneumonia or other reasons and not COVID-19.More Related News
