The Police Federation of England and Wales can confirm that we hold this information. 

In December 2020, the National Chair, John Apter, and Metropolitan Police Federation Chair, Ken Marsh, wrote separately to the Home Secretary and to the Mayor of London seeking support to publicly condemn and, where possible, ban marches and demonstrations in London as increasing numbers of police officers were reporting sick with Covid-19 or were self-isolating.
