Concerned about Risk Factors Police Commissioner Dr P S Harsha provides Anti-Contagion Face Shields to Cops, who work at the front-line, facing numerous motorists on the City streets
Mangaluru: The coronavirus threat has created tension in unexpected quarters, especially traffic policemen. Now, every time they stop a vehicle to check for Coronavirus guidelines/lockdown violations, they are risk factors that they could face when coming face to face with motorists. And now that the traffic cops have to monitor the streets to crack down on violators who abuse total ban of vehicles order. A cross-section of traffic policemen said they were the ones at risk, and they were hoping that all traffic police personnel be given masks and gloves to prevent transmission of the infection. And it looks like their wishes came true- after Police Commissioner Dr P S Harsha provided them with Anti-Contagion Face shields.
In the case of these traffic policemen who are on the front-line duty managing thousands of motorists on the City streets, they are prone to great risk of getting infected with Coronavirus aka Covid-19, since they don’t know what symptoms the stranger motorist might have- and to combat getting infected with that deadly disease, these face shields will come as a preventive measure against the spread of Covid-19.
In a information shared on twitter by City Police commissioner Dr P S Harsha, he stated, “Specialized protection equipment, Anti-contagion face shields, have been provided to all policemen at the front-line having the highest risk of exposure to coronavirus in Mangaluru. They are fighting a pandemic for you. Be kind to them. Comply with all legal instructions.”
Regarding these Anti-contagion face shields provided to the traffic cops in prevention against spread of Covid-19, are far better and sophisticated than the present face mask they have been using- and they will serve as a protective weapon/shield when they are in the line of duty, dealing with a large number of motorists.
