UPMC Doctors Give Advice On How To Stay Healthy As Coronavirus Spreads

Due to the ongoing spread of coronavirus, UPMC is asking people not to visit the health network’s long-term care or skilled-nursing facilities if they are ill or have cold symptoms, even if these symptoms are relatively minor.

“This will help avoid accidentally spreading, not only COVID-19, but many of the common respiratory viruses that are circulating in our communities, and to our vulnerable elderly population,” said Dr. David Nace, the chief medical officer for UPMC senior communities, and president-elect for the Society for Post-Acute and Long-Term Care Medicine.
