A protest took place at KEM hospital on Tuesday after staffers got the news of the death of a 32-year-old helper who was working with suspected COVID-19 patients. Pradeep Narkar, secretary of the Municipal Mazdoor Union said, "He had completed six days of duty and had left for his home in Thane on a three-day leave. He visited a doctor after his condition worsened and was told that he was a suspected COVID-19 patient. He died while he was being taken to KEM hospital in an ambulance on May 24," he said.

Narkar added, "If his death certificate doesn't mention that he was a COVID-19 patient then his family won't be entitled to the medical insurance and other benefits. We demand that it be done immediately," he said.
