He said the department is giving top priority to the welfare of the staff. WhatsApp groups have been created with COVID positive cops and doctors as its members.
It would act as an interface between doctors, cops, and experts. Doctors would monitor the health condition of the members and help them in recovery. DGP said experts should give tips to help people to overcome psychological trauma. He called upon senior officers and Station House Officers to join these groups.
He also requested the unit officers to organize Zoom conferences with the affected staff to improve their morale. "All affected staff should be supplied with immunity-boosting dry fruits, medical kits and their condition should be monitored from time to time. Even after taking all measures, if someone needs hospitalization, they should be admitted to the nearby Covid facility," he said.
