An NYPD school safety agent from Queens became the latest casualty of the coronavirus among New York’s Finest, sources said Monday.
Sabrina Jefferson, 63, of Jamaica, died from the deadly COVID-19 bug, the fourth employee of the department to die from the virus in recent days.
Nearly 14 percent of the police force, or close to 5,000 cops, was out sick amid the spread of the virus as of Sunday, with Police Commissioner Dermot Shea saying he expected about 900 to be infected by Monday.
The first uniformed officer in the department to succumb to coronavirus, 32nd Precinct detective Cedric Dixon, died Saturday.
Last week, an NYPD administrative aide in the Bronx and a 62-year-old civilian cleaner at police headquarters also died from the pandemic.
Sources said Monday that a department administrative aide in the housing division had also died, but that the results of a coronavirus test were not yet available to determine if that was the cause of death.
