Coronavirus: 2 doctors, lab technician in quarantine after patient tests positive
Two physicians and one lab technician were sent to institutional quarantine in Patuakhali as they treated a coronavirus patient defying WHO guidelines.
The three work at Patuakhali's 250-bed General Hospital, our local correspondent reports quoting the district's Deputy Commissioner Md Matiul Islam Chowdhury.
The patient, who was a local Awami League leader of Barguna, died at his residence in the district's Amtoli upazila yesterday morning.
On April 8, the patient visited the hospital at Patuakhali and the three persons who are now in quarantine had collected samples from him without maintaining Covid-19 protocol.
His sample was sent to Dhaka's Institute of Epidemiology, Disease Control and Research for the Covid-19 test and a copy of the test result reached the hospital today, the DC said.
Some more persons who came in contact with the AL leader at the hospital would go in quarantine, he informed.
