Sapu believes that protocols are not being followed at all police stations and is worried about available personal protective equipment.

Three more Western Cape police stations had to “relocate” their services for Covid-19 decontamination, leaving the SA Policing Union worried about the safety of its members.The affected police stations are in Phillipi East, Cape Town Central and Lentegeur.

The increased cases and “decontaminations” are worrying for Sapu, which believes that protocols are not being followed at all police stations.“It goes out at 06:00, it comes back at 18:00. Who checks that it has been sanitised?” Skommere said police officers were worried that they had a high risk of contracting the virus because they don’t know anything about the background of the person they are searching or arresting, and because all do not have full protective gear yet.
