MUMBAI: Mumbai Metropolitan Region may call around 5,000 doctors from other districts in Maharashtra to help fight covid-19 in the city and give some rest to its over-worked doctors, said two doctors working with the state government.
With covid-19 cases increasing daily, the medical fraternity is over worked and fatigued, and pooling in more doctors would ensure appropriate rest to the existing ones.
Mumbai alone reported 14,521 cases and 528 deaths. Currently, around 11,000 doctors, government and private, are assisting the state in fighting the pandemic.
On 6 May, the state had asked the city’s private medical practitioners to report to work immediately and mandatorily to serve covid-19 patients for at least 15 days.
