'Unaccounted death'

She was admitted to Tejankar Hospital in Ujjain 2 days after the said report. As her condition worsened she was shifted to SAIMS, Indore, where she succumbed. According to her kin the said unmarried woman officer caught infection by attending some meetings of her department.

They further alleged that she was on ventilator at SAIMS Hospital for the last 1 month.

The death of woman officer has caused a panic among the government officials . They are afraid that her case might be the latest but not the last case.

Many government servants and their kin have also caught corona virus recently.

However, looking at the toll figures it seems that the administration has failed to count it as Covid death as the official figure is stuck on 71 deaths.
