In response to the public health crisis, Gov. Tom Wolf has ordered all non-life-sustaining businesses in Pennsylvania close their physical locations. Enforcement is underway.

A Stay at Home order is now in place across Pennsylvania.

Wolf said Monday that school and non-essential business closures are currently "indefinite."

“Now more than ever, as we continue to see COVID-19 cases and deaths rise in Pennsylvania, we need Pennsylvanians to take action,” Secretary of Health Dr. Rachel Levine said. “Those actions should be to stay calm, stay home and stay safe. If you must go out, please limit it to as few trips as possible and wear a mask to protect not only yourself, but other people as well. We need all Pennsylvanians to heed these efforts to protect our vulnerable Pennsylvanians, and also our healthcare workers and frontline responders.”
