"It’s the government’s understanding from conversations with the defense… that we have reached an agreement for a plea in this matter. We have been speaking with defense counsel about obtaining a signed plea agreement," said Catherine Mirabile, who is an assistant US attorney in Long Island.

The former NYPD officer has been charged with a murder-for-hire plot. She will be appearing in court on February 12, however, it is not yet clear what the charges of the plea deal will cover. As per local reports, however, she will plead guilty to a single count of obstruction of justice which carries a penalty of 46 to 67 months behind bars under the sentencing guidelines.

It has also been reported that the former officer's boyfriend, John DiRubba, had agreed to work with the federal investigators and had started recording all telephonic conversations with her that detailed her plans of getting her husband killed.

She had also planned to get her lover's teenager daughter killed as she thought he was spending too much money and resources on his daughter, reports claim.

The federal investigators had to devise a fake plan to convince the NYPD officer that her husband had been killed by the hired hitman. However, later an officer from the Suffolk County Police Department knocked on her door with questions regarding the alleged death, following which she hurriedly asked her boyfriend to delete all kinds of evidence that may lead to the officers believing that she had murdered her husband.

Later, the FBI took her in their custody that very same day and she has been in the jail since then. Her sentencing will now take place, probably, in a video hearing on February 12.

Custodial Assistant Dennis Dickson a veteran of 14 years became NYPD's first casualty of the&nbsp;coronavirus. At least three deaths have occurred in NYPD due to COVID-19.

To make matters worse, Police Commissioner Dermot Shea said that the number of confirmed NYPD COVID-19 cases is expected to spike on Monday morning to around 900.

“We know that those numbers are going to continually grow,” Shea said as New York battles with the virus. “We’re looking at both sides of the spectrum, quite frankly: what is the current sick rate as officers are still becoming infected? And when is that beginning to plateau?”

Shea informed that the number of officers hit by the virus was around 5,000, or nearly 14 per cent of the force.

Doctors and nurses too have been hit by the virus as they attempt to bring the situation under control, however, with the medical staff in the city at forefront of the war on the virus it has put an unbelievable strain on the staff.

Last week, Kious Kelly, Mount Sinai nurse manager died after being hit by the virus leading to heartbreak among the staff.

According to Johns Hopkins coronavirus resource centre tracker, there are 142,328 cases of the virus in the US with New York being the epicentre.

New York City has reported 672 deaths so far with the number set to rise exponentially with US scientist Dr. Anthony Fauci predicting that the novel coronavirus could claim as many as 200,000 lives in the United States.
