New Delhi:
The Supreme Court asked the Centre today to consider granting a break to doctors engaged in COVID-19 duty for the last seven-eight months.
The top court said that continuous work might be affecting mental health of doctors.
The Supreme Court on Tuesday asked the government to consider giving a ‘break’ to medical staffers in the forefront of the battle against the pandemic, saying working in the COVID-19 wards continuously for months may take a toll on their mental health.
“For the last seven-eight months doctors have not been given any break and are continuously working. You take instruction and think over giving them some break. It must be very painful and might be affecting their mental health,” a three-judge Bench led by Justice Ashok Bhushan told Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, for the Centre.
