Door-to-door survey being carried out in Vadodara
Vadodara: As state-run SSG Hospital has started witnessing a rise in infants and children getting infected with Covid-19, Central Gujarat’s biggest government hospital has set up an emergency room for such patients.
Sources said that the paediatric department of SSG Hospital has started getting six to eight paediatric cases a day in the last couple of days. In most of these cases, samples of such paediatric patients tested positive of Covid-19 in RT-PCR tests.
Of these cases, some of them had severe pneumonia while in one or two cases, infants born just fortnight ago have developed Covid-19 infection. “Everybody including those who were critically have been saved,” said Dr Minoo Patel, advisor to officer on special duty at SSG Hospital.
