Live Mint  

MUMBAI: When doctors and nurses in Mumbai, which has so far reported over 15,000 cases, test positive for coronavirus, they are often left to fend for themselves, struggling to get admitted to hospitals and end up paying for their treatment. “When doctors and nurses test positive in Mumbai, they find it difficult to find a spare bed at a hospital,” Shivkumar Utture, president, Maharashtra Medical Council, told Mint. The medical council has made representations to authorities seeking a dedicated hospital for treatment of doctors, nurses and class-four employees, who get infected while on duty. “Four nurses tested positive,” a member of the hospital staff told Mint. At our hospital, about 35 staff members have already tested positive.” When contacted, a spokesperson for the hospital told Mint: “As per MCGM guidelines, we can only admit symptomatic patients, while all asymptomatic patients are sent to public quarantine facilities.
