Two doctors, three nurses in Malappuram hospital test positive for COVID-19

Deccan Chronicle  

Malappuram district has been put on alert after two doctors and three nursing staff members working in two private hospitals tested positive for COVID-19. Their swab samples tested positive for virus infection during the RT-PCR test as part of sentinel surveillance being conducted among health workers. Since the doctors and nursing staff attended to several patients including aged and children, the health department has started collecting details of patients who consulted the doctors in two hospitals. Samples will be collected from persons in the primary and secondary contact list of patients and from vulnerable groups like health workers, police personnel, traders, people’s representatives and other high-risk sections with high social exposure.
