There are 98 members of the New York Police Department who have tested positive for coronavirus, according to NYPD Commissioner Dermot Shea.

Of the 98, 70 are uniformed and 28 are civilian employees. Shea said 95 of 98 are recovering at home.

He believes three remain hospitalized. One was discharged Sunday.

The belief at this time with limited information is that these people did not necessarily contract coronavirus at work, Shea said.

As society contracts this disease, so do we,” Shea said.

He said the "normal sick rate" for the NYPD is approaching about "double that rate," adding that he saw the numbers go up when the virus took hold roughly around March 17.

He said the department is in "very good shape" in terms of resources, but "we plan for it every day.”

"We are not at the point where we’re close to going to 12-hour tours," he said. "What we are doing, though, is planning for all eventualities."

People who were previously put on quarantine have come back to work, Shea said.
