Frontline warriors standing as a shield in the Corona epidemic are also feared by doctors and hospital staff. So far, 14 doctors and health workers in the state have died from Corona.

Gujarat ranks second after Maharashtra in the number of deaths of doctors and health workers from Corona. The Ministry of Health does not have information on the number of deaths of doctors and health workers from Corona. In response to a question in the Lok Sabha on Friday, the health minister said that the data on how many health workers died and died was not prepared by the center. But the central government reported on the basis of insurance under the Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Yojana.
