There is a looming fear among health workers that if the appropriate measures are not put in place to curtail the Novel Coronavirus, the country would slip back in that era. At the 14 Military Hospital, health workers who asked not be named expressed disenchantment over lack of sufficient PPEs. This, they say, is making it difficult for them to attend to the confirmed and high-risk cases there. But responding to FPA inquiry during a press briefing on Thursday, Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Francis Kateh refuted allegations that health workers are short on PPEs. According to him, because of the heat the PPE generates, the health workers only go in to those quarantined twice a day, wearing the PPE on each occasion and taking it off after.
