Following the arrests, the young doctors suspended their work in protest.

Dr Abdul Rahim, a spokesman for the doctors’ association leading the protest, told reporters after the incident that the medics believed the failure to supply them with safety gear was putting them at risk.

“A dozen doctors have been infected while other medical staff is also suffering,” he said. He added that a number of doctors and paramedics had been injured in the baton charge.

Balochistan government’s Focal Person for Counter Corona, Mir Umair Mohammad Hassani said that 12 doctors had already been suspended for refusing government orders.

Former Chief Minister of Balochistan, Doctor Malik Baloch stated that actions should be taken against the people on whose behest peaceful protesters of the doctors were abused and arrested.

A nationalist party from the region, Balochistan National Party (BNP) reacted after the incident saying, where whole world is battling Coronavirus, Balochistan government is battling doctors.
