Per Lauten, the Steelers are adjusting business operations "until further notice," suspending all business travel and ordering remote workplaces for all except "essential crews" who must be onsite.
In addition, all public events at both the UMPC Rooney Sports Complex and at Heinz Feild have been canceled. The Steelers pro shops are also closed for the next two weeks.
The situation will be monitored and adjusted accordingly as new information is provided.
