Chancellor Patrick Gallagher announced Monday that he had formed a new committee to offer health care guidance on Pitt’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Chancellor’s Healthcare Advisory Group is chaired by Anantha Shekhar, the senior vice chancellor for health sciences and dean of Pitt’s School of Medicine. University spokesperson Pat McMahon said the group’s responsibilities will include recommending standards for the supply and use of personal protective equipment to students and staff, personal hygiene, social distancing and density in certain student spaces and considerations for vulnerable populations.
“As the University faces the complex set of issues raised by restarting on-campus activity, the chancellor has convened this group formally to ensure that decisions remain grounded in rigorous science and thoughtful analysis,” McMahon said.
McMahon added that the group will work with Pitt’s Emergency Operations Center to advise University leadership if changing conditions require a shift of operational status.
