Covid-19: Bombay HC Takes Cognizance Of Letter By Law Grads Stating Goa Not Prepared To Combat The Virus, Issues Notice To State [Read Letter]
Live LawThe High Court of Bombay at Goa on Friday issued notice to the State government after taking cognizance of a letter written to the Chief Justice BP Dharmadhikari by two law graduates stating that medical facilities in the state of Goa were not enough for combating the deadly Corona Virus. Jay Mathew and Gauravvardhan Nandkarni, both newly graduated from law school wrote to the Chief Justice requesting him to take suo moto cognizance of the issue "with respect to the lack of medical preparedness in tackling the Covid-19 outbreak pursuant to the recent events that have transpired in the State of Goa." It is stated in the letter that while the State Government has been effective in enforcing a curfew and thereafter a complete lockdown, "it has completely failed in preparing on the public health front." However, the letter cites examples in the state wherein safety of doctors was compromised due to lack of proper medical care- "There does not seem to be any Formal Standard prescribed for the Doctors and the urgency of the same can be inferred from this unsettling scenario wherein two doctors at the public hospital have been said to be quarantined because of the inability in maintaining proper standard of care while dealing with potential coronavirus positive patients in Goa.
