Indian Medical Association (IMA)Mizoramstate branch attributed the lowrecovery rateofCovid-19infected people in Mizoram to thestate government’s refusal to change the Covid-19 discharge protocol. Mizoram’s recovery rate was 78.21% as against 96.80% in India.
IMA’s Mizoram state branch president Dr Rosangluaia said that the IMA, Mizoram state branch had repeatedly asked the to change the discharge protocol, but the government has stuck to its guns.
There is not a single data which indicated that those who were discharged after ten days, not having symptoms for 3 days, spread the coronavirus, he said.
The irony in Mizoram is that the state government, without consulting medical experts, used to make decisions on the pressure from outside agency.
