Addressing the reality of mandatory screening of workers


AS daily cases start to pile on at an average of a 1,000 cases a day, it is no longer a question of "if" but "when" we reach maximum capacity for the treatment beds currently available. As of now, hospitals' main concerns are not when beds are full, but also to deal with the increase in the number of outbreaks among healthcare staff.

One must remember that Covid-19 is not the only issue that needs addressing – other diseases are still raging, such as dengue which needs hospital beds, medical staff and others.
