Dr Noor Hisham said that of the 150 healthcare workers that have contracted Covid-19, 30 were found to have been infected in the line of duty. He explained that many of these infections were because SARI was previously not automatically considered Covid-19 despite the similarity in symptoms. Dr Noor Hisham also said 18 medical workers in clinics were among those infected by patients who came in with what appeared to be common coughs and colds, but later turned out to be Covid-19.
