The Fire Department is asking New Yorkers only to "call during an emergency" during the coronavirus pandemic.
New York City’s 911 medical service calls have surged in the last week as the coronavirus pandemic escalates, leading the Fire Department to issue a public request that New Yorkers “only call 911 during a real emergency.”
Oren Barzilay, president of Local 2507, a union that represents emergency medical technicians, paramedics, fire inspectors and dispatchers, corroborated this influx, telling Bloomberg on Wednesday that medical emergency calls are up about 40%. Statewide, 100 patients died in a 24-hour period and the number of people hospitalized for the virus had jumped 40 percent in a single day, said New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Thursday.
