Bidari expressed dissatisfaction at the way the spokesperson disseminated the information.

“It has announced that the patients should pay for the treatment on their own one day and next day he says there is no charge for tests and treatment of COVID. It is like in dictatorial rule,” he said pointing out the controversial and confusing news disseminated by the spokesperson.

“One day it says ‘come to the hospital only one day after being seriously ill’ and the next day ‘as soon as the symptoms appear’.
