SIR, not only that, they should equally be taking some doses and medications of those they are treating whether they contact the disease or not. Since the disease is as wicked as such, those treating corona virus should as well be receiving the same medication for the virus in case of the virus escaping and entering inside them. What a wicked virus!!!!!!!!. RIP TO THE VICTIMS.
