Central Province cops request vaccine

24 May 2021

By Dinitha Rathnayake   Police officers in the Central Province have requested that they be vaccinated against Covid-19 owing to the risk that they face at the ground level. In a letter addressed to the Minister of Public Security Dr. Sarath Weerasekera, Police officers of the Central Province requested that they be administered the vaccine as they highlight that the vaccine was administered to only 646 Police officers in the Province whereas the total number of Police officers working in the Central Province is around 5,000.   “Statistics show that 48 Police officers got Covid-19 in the Central Province, while there are around 100 first contacts who have been identified in the Kandy Police Headquarters. Also, 20 Police officers in Gampola and six in Nuwara Eliya have also been infected.” The total number of Police officers in the Police Department is around 95,000 whereas only 20,000 were administered the vaccine, the letter also claimed. When The Morning contacted Minister Dr. Weerasekera on the issue, he said that he cannot comment on this issue since he has not received this letter. More than half of the health workers and frontline military and Police officers have so far been vaccinated against Covid-19, according to health officials, since Sri Lanka began vaccinating frontline health workers, military personnel and Police officers against Covid-19. The Ministry had planned to first vaccinate 150,000 health workers and 115,000 selected military and Police personnel.
