New York City is about as close to a standstill as it has ever been. Images of Times Square nearly empty, restaurants closed, luxury shops boarded up—the city is almost unfamiliar. Though, for those who work in and around New York City’s hospitals have done nothing but go, go, go since New York City was hit with the virus and has since become the epicenter of COVID-19 in the United States with over 76,000 cases.
In wake of this, New York City hotels have begun opening their doors to health care professionals to cut out possible commute times as well as offer them a place to stay isolated from their families.
