Noida Sector 28's Varun Vihar Enclave sealed after being identified as COVID-19 hotspot
Doctors in Noida's Varun Vihar Enclave have expressed helplessness over their inability to go to work, after their society in Sector-28, was sealed in the wake of being identified as a coronavirus hotspot. A doctor working at Apollo Hospital was quoted as saying by news agency ANI that the RWA had closed all the exits to the locality, despite government orders clearly stating that health workers would be allowed to travel to their workplace.
Another doctor, who also works at Apollo Hospital, lamented that the repeated calls to 112 (emergency number) were going unanswered after the RWA refused to open the society gates so she could commute to the hospital.
