Women Covid Warriors has played a role in the Karnataka War against Coronavirus.
This range of women holds a key position in the administration to countless ordinary citizens.
Meet some women’s soldiers who have taken every direct challenge for each of us in the third wave.
Speaking to Toi, Chandana 23 years old, a Swab collector connected to the Primary Health Center Kodihalli, said he had lived alone, far from his mother, who lived in the same city, for fear of infertness.
“I gathered strangers, and with the omicron variant spread flashes quickly, I didn’t want to risk infecting my parents,” he said.
His father worked in Mysuru.
Chandana also functions for cellular units run by Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP).
“We started working in the morning and lasted until 3pm.
We got a lunch break in between and that’s when we used the toilet,” he said.
“This is a kind of social work we do.
We can’t complain,” he stopped when asked whether it was difficult to work in a cellphone unit.
Dr.
Sisira Raj, an epidemiologist who worked in the BBMP war room, said that even though cases rose and workload increased, he did not feel considered stress when he was in the second wave.
“The omicron variant has less hospitalization level.
Even in the case of hospitalization, at least 80% of patients go to a general bed and very few cases need intensive care,” he said.
Talking about average business days, Sisira said he left home before 10am and returned at 9:30 a.m.
“But that doesn’t mean the job ends there,” he said.
“After dinner, I sat with a laptop again until late at night, and sometimes I wake up as early as 2 in the morning and return to work,” he added.
Sisira lives with her husband and their 5 year old child.
“My husband helps children and other daily tasks such as cooking,” he said.
His work involves monitoring Covid-19 data, including testing, positive cases, clusters, hospitalizations, among others.
He coordinated with the Primary Health Center, State Hospital, and Personal Facilities in Zonnya to compile data related to Covid cases.
He also paid field visits to monitor the spread in the case group in the Yelakeka zone.
Day Dr.
Praja Hunse starts at 5.
30 in the morning.
He must complete his daily tasks before sitting with his younger son for the last online class.
Prajna, which is attached to the primary health center Kumaraswamy Layout, said workload has increased in recent weeks.
“About 80% of the current work is related to Covid,” he said.
“Compared to the second wave, we see a quick increase in the number of cases.
Duplication time is less than 24 hours, but the severity is lacking.
Vaccination also plays an important role, because most infected people have received both Jabs.
Only those who have comorbid or Diabetessociated complications, malignancy, being hospitalized, “he said.
“Everyone I know will be infected in this wave, unlike the first two, including my coworkers, regardless of all precautions.
And these are the people who spend most of the time in their workspace,” he said.
“But whatever happens, the job must continue.
We have learned to live with viruses,” he said.
Prajna lives with her husband and two children.
Dr.
Bhagyalakshmi, a health worker, my zone, said the job never ended.
“We can’t turn off our cellphone.
There is always an emergency that must be attended immediately,” he said.
“This time, even though the case increased rapidly, I personally did not feel very stressed thanks to fewer critical cases,” he said.
Even though he was busy, he tried to take the time to help his children, who were in grade 9 and 12, with their studies.
“My mother also helped when she lived nearby,” he said.
“The last time, during the second wave, I will be constantly on my cellphone set the bed and oxygen.
That doesn’t happen now and it’s a big relief,” he said.
Bhagyalakshmi and her husband had contracted Covid and were hospitalized during the second wave.
