Misuse of essential medical equipments should be stopped and supply of PPE should be increased!
Health workers and those who are at high risk of acquiring the Covid19 are not supplied with sufficient PPE. On the other hand it is common to see people in the town wearing the N95 face mask, the butcher are seen using faceshield, and while health workers at the ward wear face shield, N95 and boots, the physician at the COVID19 treatment center is not supplied with this essential PPE.
After some time most of health workers are gonna treat patients with out PPE, and most of us are going to be quarantined soon. Imagine what will happen then.
For these reasons, the supply of PPE should be increased, and the essential equipements should be preserved for those who are at high risk of acquiring the disease.
