Doctors are in the frontline of the battle against coronavirus pandemic which has now affected close to 5,000 in India and has claimed 149 lives. With reports of para-medical staff and doctors getting infected by coronavirus coming into the light, the focus has now shifted to these brave souls.

Covid 19 is highly infectious and thus to treat the patients, doctors and para-medical staff has to wear Personal Protection Equipment or PPE which comprises of protective clothing, goggles, gloves etc. But these are in short supply and expensive (Rs 1,000 to Rs 2,000 a set) and healthcare workers are under pressure to conserve resources, reported Times of India.

The protective gears have to be discarded after one use. With staff shortage and short supply of PPEs, many doctors and nurses are now resorting to non-stop work for 6-7 hours in one go, without any breaks. Many nurses and doctors have been complaining of fatigue, dehydration and headaches due to the gruelling schedule, reported ToI.

Like their Chinese peers, in India too the medical staff at the forefront of Covid 19 battle are avoiding water to reduce that bathroom break. Some are even using adult diapers to avoid washroom tip altogether.
