Kanika Kapoor's Family Claims She Was Made To Change Into A Medical Gown Behind Curtain

Kanika Kapoor and her case of coronavirus could easily be made into a movie now.?

It's been two weeks since she was diagnosed corona-positive and there have been several twists and turns since then. She was criticized and trolled for being reckless in handling her travel history and risking the lives of hundreds of people.?

She became a troll magnet after it was reported that she didn't opt for self-quarantining after returning from London. Later on, several news reports directed at the fact that she was ‘throwing tantrums’ at the hospital.?

To clarify Kanika's stance and the real side of her story, her family spoke to India Today and shared details of what all actually conspired in the last few weeks.?

1. After she flew back, she started feeling unwell and eventually got her tests done.?

2. Addressing Sanjay Gandhi Postgraduate Institute of Medical Sciences (SGPGIMS)’s claims of her throwing ‘starry tantrums’ at the hospital, the family alleges that it was only when she was asked by the doctors to change into a medical gown behind a curtain in the hospital room, that she chose to complain. It was also because she herself noticed dirt in the quarantine ward and asked the hospital staff to clean it.?

Similar claims were also made by her when she spoke to Times Of India within two days of being admitted. She had said,?

“I’ve been here since 11 am and all I’ve been given is a small bottle of water to drink. I’ve been asking these people to give me something to eat but I’ve only been given two small bananas and an orange that had flies on it. I am so hungry, I haven’t even taken the medicine that I was supposed to till now. I have a fever, I’ve informed them, but no one has attended to me. The food I brought with me has been taken away. I can’t even eat anything that’s given to me as I am allergic to some foods. I am hungry, thirsty and I feel miserable here."?

Later on, Dr. RK Dhiman, the director of the hospital said the best of facilities are being provided to Kanika. A statement by him read,

“The hospital staff at her disposal is for a four-hour shift during which they cannot eat or drink because they wear anti-infection equipment. Every four hours one team is ‘donned off’ their gear and another shift takes over. The room is cleaned every four hours. Kanika Kapoor’s claims are all baseless."

On the medical front, Kanika tested positive for Covid-19 for the fifth time even though she has reportedly been asymptomatic of the disease. She could only return home once she tests negative.??
