I was even asked by a notable senior to send him home. Thank God I did not.”
In his social media post he wrote, “I have fever and sore throat. I don’t even care of I have contacted it or not, I put my trust in Allah and believe that we are foot-soldiers in this battle. But I would not want someone’s arrogance and lying cost me my parents and friends. Please don’t lie and be arrogant.”
Sources said he and another of his colleague have been quarantined that they might have been infected.

We are at the risk of catching the infection. We are vulnerable to attract infections while treating patients,” a doctor here said.
One of the top officials here in the Government Medical College Srinagar however said, “We provide protective gear to doctors and other staff whatever is available with us. Even after someone can get infected, what can we do,” the official said.
