Four members of a family in Chennai who tested Covid-19 positive are having to run from pillar for the past few days to get treatment for the infection. The residents of Pammal, after suffering from persistent fever for a few days, approached a private hospital in Manapakkam on Monday. But the hospital agreed to provide treatment to only two of the family members. Private hospitals refused to admit my grandfather citing his age and the government hospitals are not able to provide proper treatment because of the ventilator shortage. For old-aged people, it will be very difficult to use common restrooms,” a senior doctor of a private hospital said.
