They had faced a lot of challenges, but they overcame them with resilience and good teamwork. But the important concerns during this pandemic were personal protective equipment, critical nursing skills, communication, and therapeutic relationship with the patients and their families.

Nurses ensured that all patients underwent proper treatment as per the MOHFW latest guidelines. WHO care protocols have to be initiated while ensuring the adequate supply of equipment, medicines, and manpower. In this critical situation, nurses took care of contagious patients with scarce or unavailable resources. During the outbreak of this deadly virus, nurses acted like the frontliners, without worrying about getting infected, and have done their duty with utmost sincerity.

The specific roles regarding this would involve debunking myths, making people aware of the available health services, and supporting evidence-based patient management and infection reduction initiatives. Their working environment should be safe, judgment-free and counselling services for staff members should be made available.
