A scuffle took place last evening at the Thoubal district hospital premises following four individuals showing covid-19 symptoms were brought at the isolation ward of the hospital, which can accommodate only two people. According to source, the four individuals who returned home on 18th of this month are under quarantine in the institutional quarantine centre at Waikhom Mani Girls College.
The incident occurred when the doctors at the hospital demanded that basic equipment and manpower should be provided to the hospital. A team of Thoubal district police arrived at the scene and managed to control the situation. One of the doctors at the isolation ward said that the hospital has no sufficient number of doctors nor proper resting place for faculty members.
Meanwhile, Superintendent of Thoubal district hospital and other top-ranking officials held a meeting today to discuss the issue. The meet decided to assign 12 faculty members to run the isolation ward at the district hospital.
