Two doctors and four nurses of Dadar-based Shushrusha Hospital have tested positive for COVID-19 Sunday. So far, eight staffers of the hospital have been afflicted by the infection.

After two nurses from the hospital tested positive on April 10, the BMC had directed the hospital to stop new admission and put 28 other nurses on quarantine and sent their samples for tests.

On Sunday, the BMC shifted 100 hospital staffers to a civic-run quarantine centre at Dharavi and its doctors to Mahim’s Sai hospital.

Currently, the hospital has closed its OPD and stopped new admissions.
