VANCOUVER (NEWS 1130) – The Vancouver Police Department is dealing with five cases of COVID-19, forcing more than two dozen members to self-isolate due to potential exposure.

According to the department, 27 sworn and civilian members are self-isolating right now.
The police department says it has taken all the steps necessary to conduct the appropriate contact tracing and ensure the exposure is contained.
On its website, the VPD says all front line members are given personal protective equipment and also have access to gloves, masks, and personal respiratory masks.
