COVID-19 RESPONSE AT UPSTATE Upstate Medical University faculty and students stepped up to the challenge of COVID-19.
The nearly two years since the first case of COVID-19 was discovered in Wuhan, China have brought unprecedented challenges. Millions of lives have been lost and healthcare systems have been strained beyond capacity. Amid this tragedy, Upstate Medical University and the College of Medicine have been an integral part of responding to, and overcoming, the challenges of this pandemic.
Incident command
Incident Command Upstate had begun preparations to deal with the threat even before COVID arrived in the United States. An Incident Command was in place and ready to deploy Upstate’s resources to save lives, here and around the world. To protect students and patients, Upstate halted contact between the two. Some students bristled at being sidelined by the pandemic, but quickly found ways to help.
