Imphal, July 29 2020:
The Kakching District United Clubs' Organization (KADUCO) has said that doctors have now refused to start any kind of treatment before conducting COVID-19 test.
Due to the pandemic many people who have other illnesses are now struggling to get treatment, it further said.
It is disheartening to hear that many Government doctors have taken leave after some of their colleagues tested positive for COVID-19, it claimed.
Urging the Government to look into the matter, KADUCO said the number of deaths from other serious illnesses will be much more than COVID related deaths, if the situation continues in this manner.
Many people with no travel history have now tested positive, does this mean local or community transmission has started, it question and urged the Government to work out a way at the earliest to contain the spread of the virus.
