Bhubaneswar: There is an acute shortage of protective kits for doctors and healthcare service providers at the district level, the Odisha Medical Service Association (OMSA) has said.
“There are insufficient masks, sanitisers and PPE kits. So, there is a heavy chance of infection to healthcare providers. If that happens, we will enter stage III of the pandemic and that is very dangerous,” said OSMA in a letter to the Odisha government’s health department
According to OSMA doctors stage III of the pandemic will occur when a person or animal carrying the virus can produce sporadic cases or small clusters of disease in the population.
It has asked the health department to supply protective kits as soon as possible. With quite a few people arriving in the districts from inside the country and abroad, doctors and healthcare workers are functioning round-the-clock to contain the spread of COVID-19 in Odisha.
