The list of the deceased doctors includes former Indian Medical Association president Dr KK Aggarwal, who succumbed to the deadly virus on Monday New Delhi: The Indian Medical Association on Thursday released fresh figures on Covid-related fatalities among doctors, saying 329 of them succumbed to the disease during the ongoing second wave of the pandemic. Bihar alone saw 80 deaths, the maximum among states, followed by Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, the IMA said. Asked as to how many of these doctors had been fully vaccinated, Dr Jayalal said, “We are not confident about the vaccination status of all, But by the data we got, not fully vaccinated is the main cause.” He further stated that on an average, at least 20 doctors are dying per day due to COVID-19. “The second wave of the pandemic is turning out to be extremely fatal for all and especially those who are at the forefront of the fight against COVID-19,” Jayalal had said earlier.
