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.

Sarma added, “Also people who came in contact with them, will have to go through a true net test and the result will be declared within 3 hours. If they are negative they can join back to duty and if they are positive they will be shifted to Covid hospital. 81 people have been tested so far”.
