Cape Town – The Police and Prisons Civil Rights Union believes that arresting and holding suspects for violating the lockdown regulations has contributed to a spike in infections among police officers.
A total of 19 police stations in the province were closed to be disinfected, with some more than twice. “The intensive screening and testing has seen hundreds of members go into isolation, and over 3000 quarantined. I know that our communities have been nervous about police members testing positive and stations being shut down.
SA Police and Allied Workers Union secretary-general Xolile Tyhali claimed police management was no longer following Covid-19 protocols.
