KP COVID-19 status update (4/30/20)

A look at where we’re at, and where we’re going

In the United States, as in many parts of the world, the novel coronavirus pandemic continues to evolve. As cases of COVID-19 rise in some areas, the rate of new infections is starting to flatten. “While we believe that, in many places, the stay-at-home orders and social distancing requirements have helped to flatten the curve of this pandemic, we are not yet out of the woods,” said David Witt, MD, national infectious disease leader at Kaiser Permanente. Dr. Witt continues to recommend a cautious and calm approach as national, state, and local agencies begin to plan for reopening. Learn about Kaiser Permanente’s response here.
