New Delhi - A doctor working at a Delhi government hospital has tested positive for COVID-19, causing the hospital to be shut down its premises for the purpose of sanitisation.
The hospital in question is the State Cancer Institute in East Delhi. The doctor while having no travel history had apparently visited his brother who had recently returned from the UK.
While the hospital has been shut for the purpose of sanitizing and has put a lock on its OPD, its IPD is still operational for the 60 odd patients who are currently admitted in the hospital.
