It gets very hot in the sun,” said Dr. Palak Kaserwal, who leads a 10-member team of doctors and nurses screening COVID-19 patients in claustrophobic shanties in Mumbai.

Kaserwal emphasized the need for coronavirus screening and subsequent quarantining of COVID-19 patients at Kurar village to contain transmission.

Meanwhile, the families of health care workers are worried, not only because social distancing guidelines are flouted, but also  but because of the infection threat to doctors during the unprecedented health crisis.

Daksha Patel, local municipal councilor of Kurar village, praised physicians’ resolve and expressed her gratitude to the health workers.
