Fear torments health workers

At the Nyangabgwe Referral Hospital in Francistown recently, nurses and other health workers in one of the busy wards at the hospital, scurried for cover after they were warned not to access a ward because a patient who had succumbed to a respiratory related ailment was marked as a suspect of COVID-19.

Matters came to a head when information spread along the corridors of the state-owned hospital that the government will take over the burial processes of the young woman who had earlier given birth to a bouncing baby before she passed on.
