'Person' is an example of a noun with multiple plurals, i.e. person > persons > people. In a formal context the plural of person is persons, and people can be a singular noun with people as its plural. English is a very confusing language.

No, "people" is already the plural form of "person." "Person" is singular, referring to an individual, while "people" is plural, referring to a group of individuals.
