Over 180 doctors test positive for COVID-19 in Delhi in six large hospitals amid a sharp soaring in daily infections.

Informed authorities said that the figure may reach 250 by the evening. Sources said as many as 60 doctors at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) and 50 in Safdarjung Hospital have contracted COVID in the last few days.

There are about 25 medicos that have turned up positive at THE Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital. Sources at the Maulana Azad Medical College said more than 20 doctors from different branches were in isolation after testing positive.

At Lady Hardinge Medical College, around 20 healthcare workers have contracted COVID-19, the sources said. Sources at the Guru, Teg Bahadur Hospital said that many doctors were reporting COVID-like symptoms.

Perhaps doctors need to take more precautions during the season of festivities which has always seen a steep rise in COVID during winter months.
