On the 11th of June, seven policemen working at Banjara Hills police station tested positive for the Novel Coronavirus.
The incident comes as a shocker to the police department as the seven policemen came in contact with many other officials. The Police department immediately sent all the primary contact to quarantine and conducted COVID-19 test for them.
The frontline workers are falling prey to the deadly virus including doctors, sanitary staff, medical staff and policemen. Along with the commoners, the public representatives are also getting infected with the virus leaving the people in a state of panic. Last week, the doctors and other medical staff working in Gandhi and NIMS tested positive for coronavirus.
