In the battle against coronavirus pandemic, a corona warrior from Nuapada district has led from the front.
Lopamudra Rath, a microbiologist working at the District Headquarters Hospital (DHH), has so far collected as many as 176 swab samples from suspected persons in five blocks and sent those to Bhubaneswar for testing.
Collecting samples from such persons is quite a risky job and there are chances of getting infected by the deadly virus if carefulness is not maintained while doing so.
The sample collection team was led by health officer PKB Pattnaik along with 75 Staff Nurses and 10 lab technicians.
Lopamudra’s courageous act is certainly exemplary for other health workers. She has earned accolades from various quarters for her service.
