Sleeping in the attic: How a NYC nurse is trying to keep her family safe from the coronavirus as she works on the front lines

A spokesperson for Mount Sinai Health System told Business Insider in an emailed statement that the hospital is working to get equipment for staff.

"I'm lucky to have an attic that has a bathroom, it's a multifamily house," Torres said. "So my husband's staying on the first floor when my kids, my mother-in-law stays on the second floor by herself and then I'm in the attic by myself." "That was my breaking point," Torres said. "That was the end for me because I feel at that point that there was nothing for me to lose."

Since the coronavirus hit New York, though, Torres said that she's been dealing with a lot of patients who either have the coronavirus or have been exposed to the virus and can't freely go in and out of certain units in the hospital because that would mean contaminating other areas in the building.
