40 Punjab Police personnel who recovered from coronavirus offer to donate plasma
As many as 40 Punjab police personnel, recently recovered from coronavirus, have offered to donate their blood plasma to save the lives of others infected with the deadly COVID-19.
The majority of these are from Jalandhar Rural, with SSP Navjot Singh Mahal himself leading the way after recovering from the infection, according to Director General of Police (DGP) Dinkar Gupta. Punjab DGP has personally reached out to his convalescent officers and men to donate plasma after their mandatory 2-week recovery period ends, subject to fulfilling other conditions for such donation.
Gupta disclosed that within 24 hours of the SSP Jalandhar Rural coming forward to commit to plasma donation, 40 other police personnel had also volunteered, followed by more. The blood plasma of two cops –ASI Ram Lal and PHG Lakhwinder Singh – had already been taken.
