As a result, a substantial proportion of the hospital’s logistics and manpower was allocated to caring for COVID-19 patients. The PGH Cancer Institute, among other non-emergency outpatient specialty services of the hospital, ceased operations for one week to ensure the safety of cancer patients who are mostly immunocompromised and therefore have a higher risk of getting infected with the novel coronavirus.
