A day after around 200 staff members of Bandra's K B Bhabha Hospital protested to voice their concerns about their personal safety, the administration started giving Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) suits to doctors and nurses working in the intensive care unit and out patient department. While the samples of the 40 staffers who have been quarantined were sent for tests on Thursday, one more patient in the ICU tested positive at the hospital.

Dr Pradeep Jadhav, medical superintendent of Bhabha Hospital, said that after the death of the 38-year-old woman on April 7, the ICU has been converted into an isolation ward for COVID-19 patients. "There are two patients in isolation in the ICU and one of them, a woman in her early thirties, has also tested positive. We have given PPEs to all staff members in the ICU and the OPD now," he said.
