Around 30 nurses have also tested positive at AIIMS in last one week. There are more than 3,000 doctors, including resident doctors and faculty members, at AIIMS.

At least 20 doctors and six medical students of AIIMS have tested positive for Covid-19 in the last 10 days, including two who had taken both doses of anti-coronavirus vaccine, official sources said on Friday.

The 20 doctors include two faculty members. The rest are resident doctors, a source said. A majority of them have mild Covid-19. The contacts of most of them have been traced, while for some the process is still on, the source said.

The recent surge in Covid-19 cases has also hit Delhi’s Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, with 37 doctors testing positive for the virus. There has been a spike in coronavirus cases in the national capital over the past few weeks, and the daily case count breached the 7,000-mark for the first time this year.

Around 30 nurses have also tested positive at AIIMS in last one week. There are more than 3,000 doctors, including resident doctors and faculty members, at AIIMS.

“We have seen that those who have received the vaccination have milder illness even if they test positive,” said a senior doctor at AIIMS.
