Police officials in Ropar district have set an example for others to emulate in the fight against coronavirus, by converting a part of police lines area into a makeshift hospital with quarantine facilities.
DGP Dinkar Gupta said the wards of police personnel pursuing MBBS and nursing courses have volunteered to work at the hospital. With nine beds, which can be increased to 18, the hospital is well equipped to keep coronavirus patients in complete isolation, Gupta said in a statement.
The doctors and paramedics at the police lines are working round the clock to take care of the police personnel on field duty, he said.
