The wife and daughters of the doctor who tested positive for COVID-19 humiliated by residents of a complex, says IMA

the Thane The Indian Medical Association (IMA) unit alleged Tuesday that residents of a complex in Thane humiliated the wife and daughters of a doctor who tested positive for coronavirus on Sunday.

In a statement, the IMA said residents refused to allow the doctor’s family, who remains in the complex and runs a hospital in Vartak Nagarsubmit to home quarantine despite the fact that the apartment is spacious.

“The residents humiliated the wife and daughters of this prominent doctor who tested positive on Sunday. They wanted the family to move to a Thane Municipal Corporation quarantine facility in Bhayander Pada. However, samples from the wife and the daughters tested negative and we moved home, “said IMA President Thane Dr. Dinkar Desai.

“It is regrettable that society does not respect doctors who are on the front lines to combat the coronavirus outbreak,” he added.

The doctor who tested positive, the IMA said, was one of the first in the medical fraternity to hold a seminar on COVID-19.
