Chandigarh, Jul 23 (UNI) Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) senior leader and Leader of Opposition (LoP) Harpal Singh Cheema, expressing his grave concern over the rundown condition of Covid-19 care centers set up by the government for corona patients in the state, said due to incompetence and inept handling of the situation, the government-run Corona care centers were far more contagious than the coronavirus.
In a statement issued from party headquarters in Chandigarh on Thursday, Cheema said the corona care centers set up by the government in various districts of Punjab, including Bathinda, Bhikhi (Mansa), Sanghera (Barnala) were in a pitiable condition, where doctors and paramedical staff were fighting the big battle against the epidemic without essential safety kits, adding that doctors were not able to provide adequate medicines and medicare to the patients there.
He said that the patients suffering from other than corona-related ailments were suffering due to acute shortage of medicines at these government centers, which was a bigger worry, he said.
