Lucknow: The Yogi Adityanath government in Uttar Pradesh has decided to include the MBBS students of the fourth and fifth year in COVID management in the state.
The decision came following the cancellation of the MBBS examinations.
“These students will now be deployed on Covid duties and this will ease the pressure on doctors to a considerable extent,” a government spokesman was quoted as saying by news agency IANS.
Besides this, private labs and hospitals are also likely to be acquired in order to strengthen the medical infrastructure in Uttar Pradesh to cope with increasing COVID cases.
