“We will be moving resources around,” Shea said. “I usually get the question about d we have to extend tours? We’re not at that point yet, we have more than enough resources right now.” Shea says that the NYPD is staggering work schedules, increasing cleaning of facilities and that there is a panel of doctors deciding who should stay home.
“What we do is when we get those calls to our sick desk on a case-by-case basis, we are reviewing the facts and making a determination. And we have put people out on quarantine when they are not symptomatic because of close contact,” Shea said. However, the police union says that the NYPD has failed to provide adequate protective equipment for officers or cleaning supplies. Shea says the department is good for now, but is readying full body protection for officers who may want it in the future. -Full Report
