Three doctors and a health worker of Gauhati Medical College and Hospital (GMCH) have tested COVID-19 positive on Tuesday.
“They were working in the screening area. Those working in the screening area should wear PPE kit, and follow protocols as their safety is our safety. I believe that they should be more careful.
