In the Government Resolution (GR) declared by the state recently it has been mentioned that COVID-19 will be included in the insurance policy for the Maharashtra police under the category of emergency accidental disease. Earlier, the cops did not get any insurance benefits if they were infected with COVID-19 and they would have to claim the treatment expenses under the category of breathing diseases. Later, the amounts would be given to them from the Police Welfare Fund.
