ALLEGHENY COUNTY, Pa. (KDKA) -- North Braddock's entire police force is under coronavirus quarantine after being exposed to someone who has the virus.

The Allegheny County Police Department has been asked to help cover all 911 calls out of North Braddock for the next week. Allegheny County police will help cover until 7 a.m. on Dec. 17.

Officials will then reevaluate based on how many of the North Braddock police officers can return safely to work.

This is not the first time county police have covered for another police department during the pandemic. They also temporarily covered for Carnegie police and Collier Township police for similar coronavirus exposures.
