On Monday, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo called upon medical workers from around the country to come to New York’s aid to help battle the coronavirus crisis. With many NYC hospitals overwhelmed, more medical personnel are needed to treat the rising number of coronavirus patients. And health workers are answering the call.
According to Southwest spokesperson Derek Hubbard, 29 nurses and doctors boarded Southwest Flight 979 from Atlanta this week to serve in NYC. It’s a heartening show of solidarity, captured most touchingly by a photo taken by a Southwest employee just before takeoff.
