Bengaluru: As the Karnataka is facing a shortage of staff to achieve its testing targets, the government is now directed officials to utilize the services of final-year medical students to fight Covid-19.
During a discussion with officials through video-conferencing, Sudhakar said that the final-year students of lab technician courses, science students of RGUHS, and volunteers will be given proper training before assigning COVID duties.
“The government is facing it difficult task in meeting the target of collecting 30,000 samples per day in Bengaluru alone due to shortage of staff. However, so far staff from around 80 private labs in Bengaluru are being used for the task. If the response to direct recruitment is poor, newspaper advertisements can be given by increasing emoluments,” the minister said.
