A private hospital in Meerut was issuing fake Covid “negative” report for a price. The Uttar Pradesh health department has sealed the hospital and suspended its licence after a video showing its staff member providing fake Covid-19 report had gone viral.
“A video had gone viral in Meerut. We have registered a case in this regard. We have suspended the licence of the nursing home. The authorities have sealed it,” said Anil Dhingra, Meerut DM.
In the video, the person can be heard saying that they provide Covid-19 negative report for Rs 2,500.
Meerut CMO Rajkumar said, “In the video, a man from the hospital can be heard saying that he can arrange Covid-19 negative report and the person can get operation or other things done.”
