纽约警察确诊人数破千，5人染疫殉职。

俗称武汉肺炎的2019年冠状病毒疾病（COVID-19）肆虐全美，在疫情最严重的纽约市，警察因为欠缺保护装备而首当其冲，至今已有超过千名警察确诊感染武汉肺炎，最少5人染疫殉职！

福斯新闻网报导，纽约市警察局正在因应大批警察请病假的情况，并有超过1140名警察的病毒检测呈阳性。根据纽约市警局数字，截至30日，这支拥有5.5万人的全国最大警队，有5199人请病假。路透访问近20名纽约市警员，他们称在疫情下执勤时没有口罩可戴，忧虑染病后会传染其他人。

儘管感染人数不断增加，但纽约警察局局长谢伊（Dermot Shea）表示，「我百分百地相信，（纽约）警察局将竭尽所能，竭尽全力维护这座城市人民的安全。」

一个好消息是，第一波染病的员警已经恢复身体状况，正准备回来上班，这些人是从3月12日开始请病假隔离的。
