"All of our police personnel have overcome the disease, 42 including all 12 police officers who contracted the disease have resume work while remaining 6 are completing their isolation period and will soon join duty, " said Sanjiv Bhole, senior police inspector of JJ Marg police station.

The police station has seen a sudden spike in cases between April 28 and May 23 with 48 positive cases.
