And nearly 7% of the police force was out sick on Monday. The police commissioner has warned that officers will "without a doubt, suffer."
NEW YORK — Over 100 employees of the New York Police Department have tested positive for the coronavirus and nearly 7% of cops have called out sick, the department announced Monday.
“The increase in the number of employees on sick report was anticipated and given the nature of the virus, it is expected that this number will grow,” the NYPD said in its statement. “So far these absences have had a minimal impact on our ability to keep the people of New York City safe and respond to those requiring assistance.”
The spread of the virus among the nation’s largest police force underscores the crisis in New York City, which has emerged as an epicenter of this historic pandemic. The city is on lockdown, with schools and all nonessential businesses closed. Both Mayor Bill de Blasio and Gov. Andrew Cuomo have criticized President Donald Trump’s slow and inadequate response to the crisis. Both have asked the president to invoke the Defense Production Act, which would ramp up production of medical supplies.
