More than 82,000 people have volunteered for New York's reserve force of medical workers to help people infected with the new coronavirus. Health officials say the force includes recent retirees, health care workers who can take a break from their normal jobs and people between jobs. Many of these volunteers have yet to be assigned to work in New York’s hospitals, and state officials must vet the volunteers and decide how to deploy them. New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said this week he wants that situation to change. Hospitals expect to employ about 1,500 volunteers to assist a medical workforce that needs help, especially in the New York City area.
