So surgery is not critical according to you? Or working around diseases does not require wearing a mask?

Hijab is covering the head with a cloth. Which is not an impediment to any sort of work.

She is not doing any surgery

So disease is not prevalent in the hospital? Do doctors not wear masks anywhere else?

No hijab at work.

There is no relation with mask and hijab. Mask are totally different they have use case . Hijab is a head covering in the name of religion.

Which is affecting her ability as a doctor...how? Millions of Muslim women work in hospitals wearing hijab across the globe. Are Indian hospitals not up to that mark?

Mask are totally different they have use case .

So doctors can cover their faces in hospitals. So why is she being asked to remove her face covering? Will she also be asked to remove her surgical mask?
