After private hospitals, Coronavirus has now hit the state-run hospitals in the city. At least 14 staffers at Gokuldas Tejpal (GT) Hospital and few others from JJ, St George and Cama hospitals tested positive and have been admitted to GT.
Hospital authorities said that all the patients who have tested positive were working with COVID-19 patients. Since they were all living on hospital premises, the number of high-risk contacts is low. "Four nurses, two doctors and eight class IV workers (ward boys) have tested positive over the past five days. They were all living in quarters in the hospital or in hotels and they have been admitted to GT Hospital," said Dr Anant Shingare, medical superintendent of GT Hospital.
