The city police have taken a series of steps including making its personnel adhere to COVID-appropriate behaviour, frequent rest to personnel and deployment of a team of doctors. Additional Commissioner of Police Pradip Kumar told The Hindu, "It is a good sign that COVID-19 positive rate, among traffic personnel, is coming down. Last two days we haven't had any positive case in traffic strength though there were two positives a day earlier. Situation has been improving. However we should not lower our guard. That is the message to our people. Be doubly cautious and take additional safety measures like compulsorily wearing a face shield and mask, particularly while conducting vehicle checks."More Related News
