Negligence by doctors has become very common. Recently, a family in Kerala’s Malappuram district has alleged negligence on the part of authorities after three children, who did not have any symptoms of COVID-19 were admitted to a treatment facility. The three children aged, 11, 10, and seven, are presently at a First-Line Treatment Centre (FLTC) in the district, with three other family members who have mild symptoms of COVID-19.

Though the results of the other three children were not initially known along with the first set of results, according to the family, an ambulance was later sent to pick up the six family members, including children. They were admitted to the FLTC in Perinthalmanna. It was on Sunday noon, that the family again got a call stating that three children -- the lady's two kids and her brother’s daughter -- had tested negative. The family who was taken aback by the incident plans to raise a complaint with Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, calling out the alleged lapse of officials.
