The Chhattisgarh police are now going to track people who have visited foreign nations after March 1, an official said here on Thursday.
Director general of police (DGP) DM Awasthi has asked the district superintendents of police (SPs) to collect the names, addresses, contact details and the travel history people who have travelled abroad from tour operators and agents.
The order was issued after a woman in Raipur tested positive for Covid- 19. She had returned from London and has been admitted in a isolation center at the AIIMS Raipur along with her family members.
The DGP has also instructed all police units to brief all police personnel about coronavirus-related precautions to be followed during evening and night calls.
The unit chief has been given the responsibility to ensure that if in any police station/line/company a conronavirus suspect is found, then they should be immediately isolated and senior officials must be informed.
In every unit, arrangement for washing hand and sanitizers and masks should be provided, the DGP said.
Further the traffic police have been directed not to use breath analyzers until further orders.
Similarly, traffic police officials and personnel on road intersection duty, patrolling duty, challan duty and others, will have to mandatorily use masks.
Before entering a traffic police station/office it has been mandatory for visitors to hash their hands with a hand sanitizer and hand wash.
Besides, if police personnel on duty spot any suspected person, then the health officials have to be informed.
