Doctors, nurses, cleaners and workers making medical equipment stay on the job amid a coronavirus in China. More than 3,000 medical workers could have been infected with the coronavirus (covid-19) pathogen by February 11, a new study by the top Chinese Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has found, adding that many cases among them were severe in nature. The study found that – contrary to what was being assumed earlier -- the covid-19 was much more infectious than both the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and the middle-eastern respiratory syndrome (MERS). The new study again revealed the dangerous environment front line medics are working in the outbreak epicentre Wuhan and other cities of the Hubei province – most often while tackling the disease amid a serious shortage of protective clothing.
