When the coronavirus struck Sylvia LeRoy, she turned to the hospital she knew best - Brooklyn's Brookdale University Hospital Medical Center - where she has worked for seven years as a labor and delivery nurse and planned to give birth herself in just two months.
- When the coronavirus struck Sylvia LeRoy, she turned to the hospital she knew best - Brooklyn’s Brookdale University Hospital Medical Center - where she has worked for seven years as a labor and delivery nurse and planned to give birth herself in just two months.
Many of the colleagues she was hoping would look out for her were themselves home sick with coronavirus symptoms. Her hospital obstetrician could not see her either because she too had the respiratory virus. New York City is the epicenter of the U.S. coronavirus epidemic in terms of total cases, with 45,707 infections, 1,374 deaths and 9,775 people hospitalized, according to a tally on Wednesday by the city’s health department.
Some medical experts have warned that pregnant women are at greater danger of life-threatening respiratory symptoms if they contract the virus. But last Thursday, when her fever spiked and she broke into coughing fits, LeRoy was again admitted to the hospital. To try to protect her pregnancy, LeRoy was placed in the labor and delivery floor department where she worked and had given birth to her first son.
