The Delhi police has set up a 10-bed isolation centre in Dwarka South police station for its personnel who show symptoms of COVID-19 infection but has no permanent residence in the city, a senior police officer said on Saturday.
At the isolation centre, police personnel will be provided a basic hygiene kit.
The 10 beds are placed at a safe distance from each other, the officer said.
A number of police personnel stay in barracks and they have no permanent residence in Delhi.
Last month, Delhi Police Commissioner S N Srivastava said in an internal communication to his force that a part of police strength should remain in quarantine for 10 days by rotation.
The Delhi police personnel are among those on the frontlines ensuring law and administration during the 21-day lockdown announced by the government to contain the COVID-19 outbreak.
