In Pakistan’s southwestern city of Quetta, police arrested dozens of doctors and paramedics who refused to work in hospitals amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The medical workers say they lack the protective gear needed to safely treat patients with the coronavirus. Police beat protesters with batons as they broke up an April 6 sit-in by medical staff from Quetta’s Civil Hospital and Bolan Medical College.
