The Department says while the station itself has re-opened, not all officers assigned to the district have returned. The exact number still out is unclear. Different officers in other units throughout the department had been redeployed to fill in.

As of Sunday, six Baltimore police officers and two civilian employees have tested positive for COVID-19, while another 219 are out on quarantine.

Thus far throughout the pandemic, there have been a total of 305 officers and civilians placed into quarantine, 82 of which have been cleared to return to work.
