Dr Randeep Guleria said that while 90-95 per cent patients of Covid-19 recover, the mortality rate from the disease is rising due to the stigma attached to the disease.

All India Institute of Medical Science Director Dr Randeep Guleria on Thursday said that stigma attached with Covid-19 treatment was far more dangerous than the disease. Addressing a press conference in New Delhi, Dr Randeep Guleria that while 90-95 per cent patients of Covid-19 recover, the mortality rate from the disease is rising due to the stigma attached to the disease.

"We have to remember that this is a disease which is not that serious...it (stigma) is actually causing an increase in morbidity and mortality. Because of the stigma that is happening many patients who have Covid-19 or flu-like symptoms are not coming to health care facilities," Dr Randeep Guleria said.

Dr Randeep Guleria said that a lot of patients were facing undue stigma linked to the disease and its treatment, which needs to end.
