The Allegheny County Health Department is deeply saddened by the toll COVID-19 is having on long-term care facilities in the county.

There have been 58 deaths at those facilities.

We continue to extend our deepest sympathies to the families and friends of those who have lost loved ones, and our thoughts go out to all those who have been impacted by the virus.
