LIVE | Police also want priority in corona tests | Inland

Police officers, like healthcare and education personnel, should be given priority when conducting corona tests. If that does not happen, it will be difficult to fill in all services, said Mireille Beentjes of the national police force on the Spraakmakers program on Radio 1.

“We have difficulty filling schedules, working from home is not an option for these people. Cops do their job on the street, every day they wait at home for a test or result, that’s one day too many. Left or right, as long as it goes faster than it is now ”, Beentjes said.

Jan Struijs, chairman of the Dutch Police Association (NPB) also believes that police officers should be able to claim the GGD’s priority line. “We have arrests daily, 112 has to continue, we have a lot of contact. There is a shortage of personnel and a lot of insecurity among our people because they have a contact profession and a private life. ”

People who work in education and healthcare have been given priority in corona tests since Monday. This should prevent staff shortages and losses in those sectors. On Monday morning, 1400 people had called for an appointment within 25 minutes.
