Bhopal, Apr 9: Health workers across the country are being admired for their dedication on-field in fighting the war against coronavirus. Meanwhile, it is taking a toll on families of those who are on the frontline. The virus has forced these workers to stay away from their kin as a precautionary measure. One such case is of Dr Sachin Nayak working at JP Hospital in Bhopal, who has been living in his car, to prevent passing on the virus to anyone else.

Dr Nayak who is working among the coronavirus-infected people in the hospital is not going to his house after wrapping his duty at the hospital. Instead, he has made his car his home for the next few days. This he did in order to save his family from the possible infection.

After finishing his duty, Dr Nayak lives in his car which he has parked near the hospital. His car is stocked with his daily use items and books. In his spare time, he reads books and talks to his family on the phone or video call. According to Dr Sachin Nayak, he has been doing this for about a week.

"When coronavirus cases started being reported in Bhopal, I was not so afraid but over the last few days we have seen positive cases in large numbers so I have decided to stay in the car," added Dr Nayak.

After Dr Nayak's car picture went viral on social media, chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan showered praises on him.

Chouhan wrote in a tweet, "I and the entire Madhya Pradesh greet warriors like you who are fighting the war against corona. If we all continue with this resolve, then we will be able to win this great war more quickly. Sachin ji, salute your spirit."
