Corona Virus (COVID-19) and its Impact on Health Care Workers

ABSTRACT

Pandemics always come up with various life-threatening issues. COVID-19 outbreak came up with the same issues along with certain other problems involving public, administrative and healthcare sector concerns. It resembled the SARS outbreak but posed such challenges against the world that are uneasy to handle. The disease which started from Wuhan, China has now affected almost every country in a ruthless manner. Healthcare workers are working day and night just to protect the citizens despite being at high-risk exposure and they are being aimed by the virus due to shortage of Personal Protection Equipment kits. Not only this, but they are being brutally harassed by the patients themselves. Social, economic, psychiatric and many other factors are responsible for deteriorating the health of these frontline healthcare workers who are now being allegedly regarded as "Healthcare Warriors".
