A New York City subway worker died from coronavirus on Thursday, the first of the MTA’s 71,000-person workforce to succumb to the disease.
The transit worker, Peter Petrassi, was one of at least 52 Metropolitan Transportation Authority employees with confirmed cases of COVID-19 as of Thursday. He was 49 years old.
He served 20 years at the MTA as a conductor and most recently in subway operations at a Long Island City office where 30 employees were told to self-quarantine last week after a colleague tested positive for the disease.
So sad.
20 years with MTA.
