NYPD officers lined the streets and applauded Wednesday as hundreds of doctors, nurses and other medical professionals who traveled from out of state to treat the city’s coronavirus patients left for their final shifts before going home.

The front-line workers filed out of the Park Central Hotel in Midtown just after 6 a.m., as mask-wearing members of New York’s Finest stood on both sides of the sidewalk and clapped, saying, “Thank you!”

“Somebody reached out to me and asked if they could get a send-off, and I said we certainly could and I thought it was the right thing to do,” Police Commissioner Dermot Shea said on 1010 WINS. “So many people across the country have reached out to us and helped us, so it was a nice way to send them back home.”

The medical professionals then boarded waiting charter buses, which were escorted by the NYPD Highway Unit.

The scene will continue to be repeated as the need for the extra medical staffing begins to dwindle, an official at one medical staffing agency told The Post on Wednesday.

“What we’re starting to see now is those job numbers are starting to decrease dramatically in places like New York,” said Oliver Feakins, president of Travel Nurse Source.

“It’s kind of sad because we have seen these nurses drop everything to answer the call and become saviors of COVID-19 infected people and they’re completing their orientation and the very next day they’re being cut and being sent home,” Feakins said.

But at least one nurse was happy to be going home.

“Twenty-one days have gone by fast and we’re all excited to go to our last shift,” nurse practitioner Jason Anderson, of Orlando, told PIX 11.
