NYC's healthcare workers are at a greater risk of getting the novel coronavirus.

They're also not getting tested.

Diana Torres, a registered nurse at Manhattan's Mount Sinai West hospital, knew she was being exposed to the novel coronavirus in her work treating patients.

She didn't realize she was working with someone who had a confirmed case of the COVID-19 virus until her assistant manager, Kious Kelly, 48, died from the disease last week.

Torres attributes the risk of exposure to a lack of proper equipment that might protect her from the virus. She's currently staying in the attic in her family's home to avoid exposing them as she fights the pandemic.

"They're going to kill us because they failed to protect us in the proper way," Torres told Business Insider. "Because they failed to acknowledge we had a problem."
