The welcome desks of all 94 police stations in Mumbai have been equipped with hand sanitisers for visitors and staff, as also face masks for the latter in a bid to stave off Coronavirus. However, personnel at two of the stations — Sahar and Airport — are more vulnerable to the virus, due to the high connectivity with international as well as domestic travellers at the Mumbai airport.

Facemasks and sanitisers
Mumbai police spokesperson Pranaya Ashok said, "Considering the gravity of the Coronavirus outbreak, personnel at all police stations in the city have been asked to take extra precautions to protect their health. All police officers have been given facemasks and hand sanitisers to keep the virus away." An officer at the gate ensures that visitors' hands are sanitised before they enter the police stations at Sahar and Airport.
