Tema Regional Police Commander, DCOP Akrofi Oyirifi Edward Johnson, says the police are in court to move a motion for nine inmates who have tested for COVID-19 to be taken to isolation centres for treatment.
Nine inmates at Ashaiman and one other at Kpone police cells last week tested positive for COVID-19 and this sent shivers down the spine of other inmates and police personnel.
Since then some steps have been taken to reduce spread.
