About 200 blood samples were collected from about 200 police officials including the Superintendent of Police Pinaki Mishra for analysis, sources said. The Regional Medical Research Centre (RMRC) with support of BeMC came together to organise this serological surveillance campaign. Five teams of both RMRC and BeMC are involved in the process.
