LUCKNOW: After railway police personnel and provincial arms constabulary jawans, Covid-19 now seems to be spreading its tentacles in the civil police cadre in the city. Eleven more police personnel, including one on VIP security duty, were diagnosed with the disease on Saturday.
Another cause of worry was that three KGMU doctors, including a senior faculty member posted in Covid ward, contracted coronavirus. The three doctors included a senior faculty of the medicine department deployed in ICU and junior residents of the ENT department posted in Triage area. “Their contacts are being traced and tested,” said KGMU media cell in charge Prof Sandeep Tiwari. So far, 28 KGMU staff members have tested positive.
Among civil police personnel, three constables posted at Mahanagar police station, three sub-inspectors and a constable deployed in Mohanlalganj police station and three constables at the office of Inspector General of Police (Lucknow zone) tested positive, said health officers.
IG Lucknow zone and commissioner of police (CP), Lucknow, are working from home as their offices were closed for sanitisation after cases were reported. Earlier, offices of the JCP (law and order), DCP (traffic), DIG (prison) and ACO were sealed.
So far, 59 civil police personnel and their family members have tested positive, while a head constable posted at Anti-Corruption Organisation (ACO) died due to Covid-19 on June 30. Earlier, 113 PAC jawans and 47 railway cops have tested positive.
Meanwhile, 12 more employees of 102 ambulance service tested positive, taking the number of staffers tesing positive to 104 since June 29. Six employees of Mandi Parishad were also diagnosed with the virus, besides nine neighbours of real estate businessmen in Rakabganj tested positive.
