As of August, 5 2020, we have identified 183 security officers who have died after being infected with the Coronavirus since February 2020.
All of them had worked during some part of the Pandemic and became ill shortly afterward. Six of those who became infected and lost their lives after returning to work.

47 of those deceased were female and 136 were male.
We found that the median age was 53 based on the statistical information of more than 50% of those listed.
However, due to the lack of complete data, we cannot with any certainty, estimate the exact median age of this group.
There have been 48 other non-COVID-19 related deaths of on-duty security officers bringing the total number of deaths to 231.
