Coronavirus Image: Reuters The number of police coronavirus cases is increasing day by day, now 63 people have been reported infected by the Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) alone, including three general employees working in the police.

According to DMP sources, one of the victims was an ADC, three were YES, one was a sergeant, five were ASI, three were general members, and the rest were officers. Most of the affected police members are from the former riot control department, Public Order Management, also known as POM. 14 members of the northern branch of this department have been affected. 6 people affected by the POS East branch. Then there is the police force and welfare department. Twelve people in this department have been infected with a crown. 9 people were also affected in the western traffic department.

Police officers say that in addition to the eight criminal divisions of the metropolitan police, members of 21 divisions, including transportation, protection, development, intelligence and special action groups, have been affected by the crown.

Members of the police patrol regularly to ensure coronavirus infection, ensure social distance across the country, and monitor the lockdown situation. They are also spraying disinfectants on the streets, helping workers, taking them to hospitals for treatment, and finding people fleeing the quarantine. Due to a lack of adequate security equipment, infection occurs among ordinary people by ‘inadvertently’ coming into contact with them while on duty.

Dhaka Metropolitan Commissioner Shafiqul Islam told Prothom Alo that all the police members who were attacked came out to carry out their duties. They think they have been infected by inadvertently moving around people. In asking police personnel to be more vigilant while on duty, the police commissioner said that steps were taken from the beginning to protect police personnel. They are getting stronger now. Police members at risk of infection are being isolated. 100 beds have been arranged for them on the temporary police lines in Demra. Apart from this, quarantine and isolation arrangements have also been made at Rajarbagh Guest House and Mirpur Guest House.
