Andrew Cuomo says state will help coronavirus-stricken NYPD: Gov. Andrew Cuomo said the state would assist the coronavirus-stricken NYPD however possible Friday, as the pandemic has sickened nearly 20 percent of the force.
“That’s a problem. That’s a problem in the NYPD, that’s a problem in the FDNY, it’s a problem all across the board,” Cuomo told reporters during a press conference at the state Capitol.
“We’ll look to the localities — do they think there’s a level where they need backup — and then we’ll do everything we can to provide backup.”
The NYPD reported Thursday that 6,498 officers were out sick — nearly one in five cops on the 36,000-strong force.
