There's finally some good news for our COVID-19 warriors in khaki. The number of infected policemen in the city has declined in the past few weeks, with only 470 of them in quarantine at home or at centres.
Owing to a declining trend in confirmed cases within the force, the Mumbai police, which was the most affected by the pandemic after medical practitioners, has now closed three centres opened exclusively for the police officers. A senior officer said the centres would be reopened if the need arose. The number of new COVID-19 cases started to drop in July.
