As the decision on whether booster vaccinations against Covid-19 should be given and to whom is yet to be taken, health workers are increasingly testing positive for the infection. They include many doctors who are in the high-risk category.

‘A rising trend’

“I got a fever earlier this month. When tested, I was found positive,” said Dr Prakash Jiandani, critical care medicine specialist at Lilavati Hospital. While he got the monoclonal cocktail drug and recovered within two days, doctors treating Covid-19 said, in the past one month, there is a rising trend of many healthcare workers, especially doctors, testing positive for the virus.
