After 41 people tested positive for the COVID-19 virus in <keyword id="9086981" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="Danger-mohalla">Danger Mohalla</keyword> (Gund Jahangeer) of <keyword id="3683036" type="LOCATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="Bandipora-district">Bandipora district</keyword>, authorities on Tuesday decided to quarantine the entire village with a population of 400.

"After 36 out of 41 positive cases in the Gund Jahangeer area turned out to have come from Danger Mohalla, the entire village which has a population of 400 has been put under quarantine. "Half of the village population is under administrative quarantine while the other half has been restrained into home quarantine", a top official told IANS. The most baffling part of the infection spread in this village is that the first positive patient, who later passed away in a <keyword id="41568" type="LOCATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="Srinagar">Srinagar</keyword> hospital, had no travel history. "The son of the deceased said his father had been bedridden for four months and he had not travelled outside the valley. "He was a fruit merchant who had not gone out nor met any contact from outside the valley during the days of his sickness which was due to multiple ailments like kidney dysfunction, cardio-vascular problems, etc. "We have found that people from the village used to call on him during his sickness. "Whether he got the virus from his visitors or he gave it to them is still a mystery", the officer said. Twelve of the 36 infected people in the village are members of the deceased's extended family or his friends and neighbours. Authorities are still working hard on contact tracing of the people from this village who in all livelihood would have moved into adjoining areas before the infection became full blown in this village. Consequent upon the increase in the number of positive cases in this village, Bandipora district has now 91 COVID-19 cases which is the highest in J&amp;K followed by Srinagar district at 79 cases. --IANS sq/dpb

Recently, a Mohalla clinic doctor in Delhi was also tested positive — after which nearly 800 people went into a quarantine. These incidents brought troubled facts of Italy to the fore. Italy lost as many as 23 doctors and other medical workers, as it battles an explosion of Covid-19 infection. Added to that, Indian medical staff is low on masks and suits that could save them from an infection. A day after the nurse’s plight, the Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman announced a<a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/india/news/fm-nirmala-sitharaman-26th-march-speech-highlights-and-updates/articleshow/74825011.cms"> ₹50 lakh per person</a> medical insurance cover for medical professionals. “They are being called Gods in white costumes. These professionals are not considering their own health risks and have been attending to Coronavirus patients,” she said. FM’s scheme will benefit 2.2 million healthcare workers The scheme provides relief to 2.2 million of India’s medical staff, sanitation workers, paramedics and Asha workers. Her announcement comes after Modi said that the government created a ₹15,000 crore fund to purchase medical equipment. That brings another glimmer of hope for most healthcare professionals, who are reportedly treating patients without basic protective gear or Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) — including N-95 masks, head covers and glasses. In fact, a few of them are reusing the same mask for almost a week — which is dangerous. The government’s package might allay some of their fears, though the risk that medical workers face is much higher than a normal individual, due to their proximity to patients and suspects. “It has been brought to our notice from senior and junior resident (SR/JR) doctors of various departments that residents attending to suspected and confirmed Covid-19 patients are working without PPE gear. We are scared of such working conditions causing emotional and psychological stress,” Resident Doctors' Association Lucknow president Rahul Bharat <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/science/news/the-government-is-failing-our-most-important-front-line-defense-against-covid-19-nurses/articleshow/74664362.cms">said</a> earlier. Recently, the former governor of RBI Raghuram Rajan too said that ventilators, masks and other medical supplies should be treated as a priority as the country practices social isolation to break the chain. "We need to spend money on medical supplies, ventilators, masks — on getting protective equipment for medical workers. That means getting every resource in — be it private, public, defence or retired. And quickly. All this will require fiscal resources and this is the higher priority," Rajan said in a TV interview.
