Avinashi Government Hospital (GH) has been closed by the Tirupur health department department after six medical staff, including the chief medical officer, tested positive for Covid-19. The medical officer’s result came on Monday, prompting officials to close the hospital from Monday evening itself. However, outpatient services are being offered by the hospital in a neighbouring building with another doctor and a couple of nurses.
The six staff who tested positive include the 43-year-old chief medical officer, four nurses and a lab technician. All of them tested positive on the same day. The health department has now taken nasal swab samples of 34 other medical personnel working in the hospital, said a Tirupur health department official. The hospital was closed by the Avinashi Town Panchayat officials.
