COVID-19

A new type of coronavirus, first discovered in China in late 2019, has sickened millions and caused a worldwide pandemic. The World Health Organization named the disease caused by this novel virus COVID-19.

For many, the disease has altered nearly every aspect of daily life — shuttering schools, workplaces, and large gatherings indefinitely. As you grapple with the new reality caused by COVID-19, your health has never been more critical.

The experts at UPMC share information on how to help slow the spread, stay safe when traveling in public, and make the most of your wellness while you are at home.
