The affidavit was filed in response to a petition by Dr Arushi Jain, challenging the new SOP for healthcare workers that ended the mandatory 14-day quarantine for them.

Only proper ppe are available(that too not in adequate amount) to whom who are directly in contact with covid. They are not allowing testing of asymptomatic patients so other doctors who are not directly in contact with covid patients don’t even know they got exposed as they have to operate on them and do various medical procedures and i might add without proper ppe as they are no dealing with corona patients directly. And please stay in that ppe kit for 2 hours yourself most will start crying which doctors have to wear for 6 hours straight without break as if you remove it you have to use another ppe and there is no supply ( can’t go to washroom also). Even if we ignore that 1st provide adequate good quality ppe then give these kind of decision that is doctors fault. One has to get a negative report to set foot in court to stand in front of judge but not in front of doctors and if they say something snatch there degrees because afterall it’s just that person’s lifetime hardwork, how is that important to court of politician.
Such a ridiculous irresponsible government.. though government doesn’t support doctors since decades, it should help health care workers atleast now.. you think wearing PPES will protect doctors.. then why many health care workers are infected.. shameful and spineless government .. I think supreme court has no idea about guidelines. They should leave ego and take suggestion by appointing committee headed by doctors….
I things are taken in wrong way. Govt is telling to take utmost care while treating. It’s also allowing 14 days quarantine when its necessary. But as the cases are rising docs treating covid patients as well as doc who came contact with a patient, later diagnosed with covid, are sent to quarantine. The problem is very few doctors are left in government hospitals to treat general public. If things are not managed properly poor people will die due to lack of doctors rather than covid. I am telling these because we have doctors(govt) in my family and they support govt decision.
