A doctor at a coronavirus quarantine unit in Duluth, Minnesota, was pulled over by a state trooper for speeding. But instead of a ticket, the cardiologist was handed five N95 masks the trooper was supposed to use as protection.
Dr. Sarosh Ashraf Janjua, a cardiologist at a coronavirus quarantine unit in Duluth, was pulled over by Trooper Brian Schwartz for speeding on March 21. But instead of a ticket, Schwartz handed Janjua five N95 masks he was supposed to use as protection -- along with a firm warning for speeding. "I burst into tears. And though it may just have been the cold wind, I think he teared up a little as well, before wishing me well and walking away," Janjua said on Facebook.
The N95 respirator masks that health care workers need to protect themselves while treating coronavirus patients are in dangerously short supply. Physicians are being forced to wear used masks, risking infection when they care for patients.Like millions of health care workers across the world, Janjua, who is originally from Boston, said she was"afraid" of not having proper equipment to protect herself from possibly getting sick far from home.
