The head doctor of an intensive care unit in Yemen spent 10 days in a coronavirus-induced coma after being misdiagnosed with dengue fever because experts didn't think Covid-19 had reached the country. When the virus broke out, Yemen only had 500 ventilators — a crucial piece of equipment in the treatment of severe Covid-19 cases. 'Some physicians are afraid to visit quarantine facilities to treat Covid-19 patients. He added: 'However, starting May and June, hospitals started providing PPE such as protective masks and suits, and they started dealing with Covid-19 patients with ease. 'Thank God, it has become way easier for us to deal with Covid-19 patients and we are starting to defeat the disease.'
