Confirmed cases continue to grow in the U.S. as well. The virus has now been confirmed in all 50 states and has infected hundreds of thousands of people worldwide and resulted in thousands of deaths, primarily seniors.
To help slow the spread of the virus, a large number of Pittsburgh events have been canceled or postponed. People are being advised to avoid events with 10 or more people, as the virus can spread easily from person to person, even those that are not experiencing any symptoms.
Here is a list of events in the Pittsburgh area that have been canceled or postponed. Pittsburgh City Paper will update this list as more events announce cancellations and/or postponements.
