A survey has revealed that 80 per cent of doctors practising in private clinics and hospitals have tested positive for the novel Coronavirus. The Association of Medical Consultants (AMCO) examined over 150 doctors, who were not enrolled by the state government on COVID-19 duty, for the study.

More than 1,200 specialist doctors are enrolled with the AMC and attend to nearly 90 per cent of the hospitalised cases in the city, the AMC told mid-day. Of them, 176 doctors in the age group of 24 to 72 participated in the survey.
