New Delhi [India], April 4 : In view of a global outbreak of COVID-19, an isolation centre for police personnel posted in Dwarka district and who are staying in police barracks has been prepared.
The isolation centre has been set up in Police Station Dwarka South Building and 10 beds have been placed at a safe distance so that the infected police personnel can keep themselves separate from other police staff members during the treatment period.
