Gupta, Chief Medical Officer, Ghaziabad. “The woman and the baby have been put in isolation separately. The doctor who conducted the operation told us that the women had a temperature and other flu-like symptoms. So he told the hospital to get her tested for COVID 19 after the operation,” he added.
