They demand quarantine leave and better protective gear
Senior resident doctors from Government General and Chest Hospital have threatened to boycott duties from Saturday if their demands are not addressed. They served the boycott notice to the hospital’s superintendent on Friday. They have demanded adequate and safe protective gear to work as usage of the PPEs provided are leading to extreme exhaustion, and uncomfortable to work in harsh conditions. The summer temperatures are adding to the problem. The doctors sent photos of them drenched on sweat after removing PPEs. The second demand was to allow quarantine period after work since a few of them have already tested positive for coronavirus leading to drop in work force.More Related News
