The Big Apple must immediately brace for more hospitalizations during the NYC Omicron crisis before frontline nurses and doctors become overwhelmed again, Public Advocate Jumaane Williams and incoming Manhattan Borough President Mark Levine said Tuesday.
The politicos joined alongside New York State Nurses Association at a virtual rally Tuesday calling for a safety overhaul amidst the Omicron surge.
Both Williams and Levine — who themselves are recovering after they tested positive for the virus — expressed concern over the rising tide of COVID-19 cases citywide, resulting in increased hospitalization.
