5 doctors came positive in 3 days, the doctor says - wear PPE kit bursts, the risk of infection from it

The speed of coronavirus has doubled in Uttar Pradesh. Now more than 2 thousand cases are coming here every day. Not only this, but now doctors are also falling prey to it. The doctors posted in the Covid ward of PGI Lucknow have also started coming positive. In the last three days, 5 doctors have come positive.

Shashank Pandey and Soumitra Mishra's report posted in Corona Ward on Thursday came positive. Other doctors stationed in the ward have been scared due to the positive arrival of several doctors simultaneously. Doctor Archana is more upset, saying that she was constantly working with doctors Shashank and Soumitra. I can not understand anything, what to do. One, we are not being given a single room. The PPE kit is being given of poor quality from above. Now I am going to report for the test.

Doctor Divas Pandey posted in Covid Ward says that the PPE kit is now happening due to the inferior quality, because the new kits which are coming now have a gap. She is also bursting for long wear. Triple Excel quality kit is not coming. Just now I asked for the old kit from the sister of the department, so they said that the director has run out of money, so the old kit is not coming.

Doctor's Day says that the money is being given by the administration for the best quality kit. Apart from this, there are many other reasons behind the doctors getting infected.

Doctor Shruti, who is doing duty in Covid ward, says that doffing (where doctors change clothes) does not dare to go to the area. There is a lot of dirt here. It has been a month, but nothing is being done to fix it. The bathroom is also very dirty.

Doctor Pragya says that from now on I have my duty, but I do not know what my room number is. With which doctor will I share the room. Doctors have been doing duty for 4 months in Div Covid-19 ward. Once, he has also spent 14 days in Quarantine due to the case of singer Kanika Kapoor. Doctor's Day says that we doctors are very concerned about our health. Do not know what will happen tomorrow.

Junior doctors also say that senior doctors are sitting at home, so they do not know our problems. Bathroom cleanliness and other things are not being taken care of at all.

Room sharing problem

Now 2 doctors are being asked to share a room in one room, earlier it was not so, there used to be only one doctor in one room. At the same time, doctors say that they can take Oyo's room with their own money, but they are not being allowed to do so. Sharing a room increases the risk of infection.

Roster of duty

At present, there are 16 doctors on 50 patients in the Corona ward. Earlier they had to do duty for 4 hours, now they have to do 6 hours. In such a situation, frequent wear of PPE kit causes dizziness. You cannot drink water for one hour before wearing a PPE kit and up to an hour later.

Quarantine finish

Earlier, doctors posted in the Corona ward were quarantined for 14 days or 7 days after duty for a week, but this is no longer the case. This time has now ended. Now doctors have to do duty continuously.
