Doctors and paramedical staff, who have been assigned duty in Covid wards, are following the same protocol as in the first and second waves, Dr Dixit said. “They wear PPE kits and are following all other norms. There’s no instance of any health staff getting infected while working in Covid wards,”he said.

A faculty member of the microbiology department was infected a fortnight ago and a repeat sampletested positive a week ago. Two doctors of Sri Aurobindo Institute of Medical Sciences (SAIMS) have also tested positive in the past week after returning from other cities.

“While people are advised not to lower their guard and follow all Covid guidelines, doctors and paramedical staff have been asked to take all the precautions, have a good sleep and home-made food to avoid falling ill due to the virus,” pulmonologist Dr Ravi Dosi said.

“Most of the doctors, who have tested positive to the disease, have their recent travel history during last week of 2021” Dr Sanjay Londhe said, adding that almost all the doc- tors are fully vaccinated and asymptomatic. “Among those detected in the recent past, the disease is not causing major health problems, including breathlessness, which was seen in the second wave in April and May when Covid claimed so many lives,” he said.

The 64th All India Congress of Obstetrics & Gynecology to be organized by the Indore wing from January 9-13 has been postponed due to Covid. Over 500 doctors were expected to attend.
