MUMBAI - Hundreds of Indian police have tested positive for the coronavirus in recent days, raising alarm among an over-stretched force as it attempts to enforce the world’s largest lockdown to contain the pandemic.
India has been under lockdown since March 25 and confirmed nearly 50,000 coronavirus cases and some 1,694 deaths. Control rooms were being set up exclusively to deal with health issues faced by police in Maharashtra, according to the state’s home minister, Anil Deshmukh. In Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s home state Gujarat, at least 155 police officers and some paramilitary personnel have been infected, according to a senior official.
