The court also advised against imposing a lockdown and said it is not a solution to fight the pandemic. The Gujarat High Court on Tuesday expressed its displeasure over the state government’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, noting the entire exercise lacks “transparency” and pointed to the death of patients outside hospitals due to “non-attendance by doctors”. The court also advised against imposing a lockdown and said it is not a solution to fight the pandemic. The HC asked the Gujarat government to direct hospitals to admit all COVID-19 patients approaching them instead of just those coming through ‘108’ (helpline) ambulance service.

High Court points to differences between Gujarat government s affidavit & ground reality

High Court points to differences between Gujarat government’s affidavit & ground reality SECTIONS Share Synopsis Justice Bhargav Karia of the Gujarat HC told the state government, “You cannot sit in an ivory tower and decide that we will solve this crisis like this.” He said that the government affidavit “does not reflect any of the ground reality that is reported everyday, everywhere.” ET Bureau The Gujarat High Court has said that there were differences between the affidavit presented by the government on the Covid situation in the state and the ground reality. Laying bare the harsh realities, the court has questioned the state health infrastructure’s preparedness to tackle the projected half-a-million Covid cases expected in the next 15 days and the current practice being observed by hospitals run by the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation to refuse to admit patients who don’t furnish an Ahmedabad Aadhaar Card or who don’t arrive by the ‘108 ambulances’.
