A CO Down police station has temporarily closed to the public due to a coronavirus outbreak.
Ten officers at Downpatrick police station have tested positive and 22 are self-isolating.
PSNI Assistant Chief Constable Alan Todd said the officers are "receiving help and support and I wish them a speedy recovery".
He said the station had been closed for "deep cleaning".
"We have initiated our contact tracing process and business continuity plan," he said.
"The welfare of our officers and staff is our priority and as a precaution, an additional 22 police officers have been required to self-isolate.
"Any members of the public who have been considered as being in close contact with relevant police officers have been referred to public health agency for notification.
"While there are robust measures in place across the service to mitigate the spread of Covid 19, our officers and staff are also members of the community and the reality is that we face the same risks from this pandemic as all other residents of Northern Ireland.
"I want to reassure public that we have planned for this situation and have resources and staff in place to ensure continuance of service delivery to keep our people and our communities safe."
