KARACHI/JACOBABAD: A doctor of Abbasi Shaheed Hospital (ASH) Karachi and another from Civil Hospital Jacobabad were confirmed as coronavirus positive on Sunday while authorities tightened the lockdown in Jacobabad as a result of the newest case. According to the details, ASH’s hospital administration shut down the Emergency Department after its chief medical officer’s (CMO) report came out positive. The ASH management has instructed doctors and other staff posted at the emergency department to conduct their screening and adopt self-isolation. The closure of the emergency department has increased the worries of patients requiring emergency treatment. The hospitals and medical stores, however, remained open to cater to the needs of patients.
