The figure is among the PRO3’s highest single-day tally since the pandemic began. It brought to 169 the active COVID-19 infections among its personnel.
Since 2020, at least 3,080 policemen and non-uniformed personnel under PRO3 have contracted the viral disease. Of this figure, 2,904 had recovered, while seven had died.
The surge in infection was noted despite the full vaccination of most of the PRO3 personnel against COVID-19.
