U.S. Physical Therapy, Inc. reported today that as a result of events associated with the onset of the COVID-19 (coronavirus) that cancellations of physical therapy patient appointments at its clinics are increasing and that scheduling of new or additional patient appointments is declining. Based on patient volumes and federal, state and local guidelines, certain clinics may operate on a reduced schedule or temporarily close for periods of time.
The COVID-19 outbreak in the United States remains in its early stages, and we cannot predict the potential future effects of the outbreak on the Company’s business or its prospects.
