Ferro said that the policemen and trainees were able to overcome the most challenging part of their duties and training.

“You finally have passed this challenging period in your police career. So my kudos to our snappy health service team for (manning) our recovery health program. Hopefully next week, tanan is hundred percent recovered,” said Ferro.

Ferro reminded the trainees to always keep themselves healthy because after a week of rest they would again start their police training which would be rigorous.

He said that despite the unexpected challenges, they were now stronger and would be able to conquer more hurdles.

Ferro said that the infected PRO-7 personnel were at 95 percent recovered from the infection of COVID-19 from the original 519 personnel who tested positive of the virus and 4 fatalities.

At present there are only 24 more personnel in isolation which Ferro hopes to recover in the next few weeks.| dbs
