More than two dozen public safety workers have now tested positive for COVID-19 in Indianapolis, including city fire fighters.

WFYI’s Taylor Bennett spoke with Indianapolis Fire Department Battalion Chief Rita Reith about IFD policy and procedural changes, and what people can do to help when they call for emergency services.

Practicing social distancing, Bennet reached Reith by phone.
