New York City is pressing the state to approve line-of-duty death benefits for the survivors of municipal employees who died while responding to the Covid-19 outbreak, Mayor Bill de Blasio said Tuesday.
“We’ll work with all of our partners in Albany to get this done,” de Blasio said at a press briefing. “We’ll work the City Council. We need to take this weight off the shoulders of the families of these valiant New Yorkers.”
