Dr Simon Hercules, the head of New Hopes Hospital, tested positive for COVID-19 a few weeks earlier. After fighting against the disease, he passed away on Sunday. In response, Dr Beela Rajesh tweeted, "Salutations to Dr Simon Hercules for his exemplary service in the fight against Covid19. Let us stand by each and every healthcare worker, they are the real heroes." However, his body was not allowed to be buried anywhere, and other doctors who tried to pay final respects were attacked.
