They are essential city workers who are showing up and who are interact aing with the public more so than most others and they have, we know, concerns about their own health. So they cant always n their capacity, practice social distancing. That ier are taking care of us so its important that we take care of them. And one of most basic things that we can do is to ensure that they have access to testing. Now last week, we announced a partnership that would allow our First Responders to get priority testing through a number of health care providers.
