As Tennessee’s public academic medical institution, the College of Medicine at the
University of Tennessee Health Science Center is committed to providing information
to the communities we serve about important topics such as the emergence of the novel
coronavirus (SARS CoV-2) and the disease it is causing (COVID-19).
Of note, there is much that we do not know about the novel coronavirus yet, so any
information or advice offered here is based on the best available information and
will be updated frequently as more information becomes available. In many cases, the
best information or advice we can provide has to be based on expert knowledge of similar
respiratory viruses and the infections they cause. There are many good sources of
information that are linked on our resources page, which is updated frequently and will give recommendations that change over time
as we learn more. We have also created a version of the website in Spanish.
