Dear @NYGovCuomo,

Our current system requires NYS front liners to provide the burden of proof of who gave them COVID-19. I am tweeting in hopes that you will pass bill A10401, that will change this, & allow patients like Sylvia LeRoy to receive the medical coverage she deserves https://twitter.com/ajplus/status/1258888460959576066

It’s a short bill that would allow for all front liners & first reponders to claim that they had an occupational injury if they were to contract COVID.

Unfortunately this is not the case, & is leaving patients like Sylvia LeRoy without adequate coverage. http://www.nysenate.gov/legislation/bills/2019/a10401

You can click the link and vote for the bill on your phone. Doing so is a way of getting NYS and @NYGovCuomo to hear your voice and potentially save a young black mother’s life.

While we are enjoying this day with our mothers keep Sylvia LeRoy in your prayers and wish her a #HappyMothersDay .

Also I want to take the time to attach Sylvia’s GoFundMe to this thread, bcuz if the government won’t protect us we MUST protect each other https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-a-front-line-nurse-and-baby-get-proper-care
