Drawing comparisons between Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) and COVID-19 is not only wrong to do, but one of the reasons for unnecessarily creating panic and fear among citizens. Speaking to the media in Mantralaya on Tuesday, Maharashtra Health Minister Prakashrao Abitkar said, “Equating a rare autoimmune disorder with a viral infection and drawing comparisons between the two (GBS and COVID-19) is not only misleading but also contributes to fear and panic in the society.”
