The department is still tracing the contacts of people who have confirmed COVID-19 and is recommending self-quarantine when needed. We strongly urge all people in Allegheny County to stay at home to slow the spread of the virus in our community.
NOTE from CSPD: As the known positive cases continue to climb (up 35 from yesterday and up another 13 hospitalized), we need to be reminded to keep up with social distancing. Please take this measure seriously.
If you are not concerned for your own health, please know that you may be carrying the virus without symptoms and infecting others around you. Don’t be selfish. Stay Home unless you have a compelling reason to be outside your home. This is sure to be more difficult as the weather improves. If you have to go out for exercise, please stay way from other people. Stay out of the parks, off of the fields and off of the playgrounds.
