Doctors, nurses and other health workers are at a higher risk of contracting coronavirus but, for them, saving our lives is more important.
And, while there are some who are heckling, attacking and assaulting these real heroes, there are others, who are appreciating them and recongising them for all their efforts.
Take the government of Haryana for example.
This comes after CM Manohar Lal Khattar held a meeting through video conferencing with civil surgeons, Indian Medical Association chiefs from various districts in the state and district ayurvedic officers.
As per the announcement, they will get paid double their salary until the crisis is over.
According to reports, these were his exact words:
All those connected in this fight against coronavirus, be it doctors, nurses, paramedical staff, class IV staff, ambulance staff, testing lab staff, their salary will be doubled.
He also described doctors and other health workers as next to god who are battling this pandemic like soliders and risking their lives to save humanity.
Netizens lauded the Haryana government for taking this step and recognising the efforts of all the doctors and other health workers in the state.
So far, Haryana has reported 154 coronavirus cases with two deaths.
