As is seen in the video, a doctor or maybe a healthcare worker is pinning down a female while another healthcare worker wearing a hazmat suit is handing the test kit.

In the video it can be clearly seen that the woman is resisting the doctor while the doctor is forcibly taking her hand, placing it firmly on the ground and keeping it under his knees while the other worker gives the test kit.

The doctor then opens her mouth while the other person takes the swab.

This video has shocked and dismayed people.

"What a horror how they subjugate the poor people,” a user tweeted. “All this is tragic, absolutely unbearable," said another.


China is currently witnessing the worst of the COVID pandemic.

Meanwhile in India, COVID cases are rising after a brief respite. Less than two months after schools and colleges reopened in the country, after two full years of closure, COVID cases have again increased.

Various governments which had lifted COVID restrictions have reimposed it again. Wearing masks, using sanitisation and vaccination are the sure shot ways to avoid the risk of the infection.

As on May 5, 3,275 new cases reported in the last 24 hours and the recovery rate currently stands at 98.74%.
