His life

Police Officer David Mathura died from complications as a result of contracting COVID-19 in the line of duty.

Officer Mathura had served with the New York City Police Department for 16 years and was assigned to the Firearms and Tactics Section.

Beginning in early 2020, thousands of law enforcement officers and other first responders throughout the country began to contract COVID-19 during the worldwide pandemic. Due to the nature of their job, law enforcement officers were required to work and interact with the community even as the majority of the country was self-quarantined. As a result, hundreds of officers died from COVID-related illnesses and other complications.

COVID-19

January 1, 2020

In the first months of 2020 a new coronavirus spread from country to country faster than anything could be done to stop it. Hospitals filled, cities closed, and the dead were counted in the millions.

While much of the world stayed home, some could not. Police and corrections officers kept answering calls, making arrests, moving prisoners and working face to face with the public, and many caught it doing the job. Corrections officers were hit hardest: confined facilities and large populations meant close, constant exposure.

They are the first named here. They will not be the last. Nurses, doctors, paramedics, firefighters and the people who kept everything else running died of it too, and people are dying of it still.
