Abstract
The medical practitioners, paramedical staff, and their family members are at risk of catching the coronavirus infection. Proper following of Good Laboratory Practices (GLPs) and precautionary measures are the prerequisites for the safety of healthcare workers and doctors. The in-depth study on the medical practitioners, paramedical staff, medical laboratory personnel, towards the proneness of catching of coronavirus infections is the need for the present time. Many doctors, healthcare workers have fallen prey to the novel coronavirus infection, and out of them, some died too. The incorporation of good hygiene practices can stop further infection spread among healthcare persons. The nosocomial infections i.e the infections spread in the hospital will include coronavirus infection as a major cause of death rate if proper attention was not paid in hospital having both coronavirus and other disease patients. The workplace hygiene practices for any healthcare workers and doctors start from the time of joining duty to the end time of duty. The safe disposal of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) kits and hospital waste also ensure that the infection will not spread further in society.
