New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo is asking the federal government for funding to grant bonuses to frontline workers who don’t have the “luxury of staying home” as they continue to lead the state in its battle against the CCP virus.
Cuomo said first responders, health professionals, grocery store employees, transit workers, and other key workers are “heroes” and should be rewarded with 50 percent bonuses on top of their current pay for working through the pandemic.
