A video showing ants crawling on the face of a critical Covid-19 patient, who is also suffering from paralysis, at Sir Sayajirao Gaekwad (SSG) Hospital in Gujarat's Vadodara has surfaced on social media. It has prompted the hospital administration to order an inquiry into the matter. Shot by a family member of the patient, the video shows her lying on an ICU bed on intubation. "All the staff have been given strict instructions to maintain high standards of hygiene and also remain alert in attending patients. "I have also ordered an inquiry into the incident and action will be taken if any lapses are found," he added.
