After a constable from Worli tested positive for Coronavirus, city's police personnel have been asked to report directly to Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) level officers if they develop symptoms COVID-19. Policemen have been assured that they will get tested at the earliest.
As constables and officers are constantly working in the field to enforce the lockdown and at containment zones, they are at risk of getting exposed to the deadly virus. Hence, the top brass wants to ensure that their officers are in good health and are well taken care of. Those on field duty have been given gloves and masks.
