One of the cases confirmed Wednesday involves a person who lives out of state during the work week and shares a residence there with a person who has tested positive.

The second patient confirmed Wednesday lives in Bucks County but works out of state. The third is a resident who has not left Bucks County anytime recently, Bucks County Health Department Director David Damsker said.

The sources of infection for at least three cases are still being investigated, Damsker said during the Thursday briefing.

Only one of Bucks County’s cases has required the patient to be hospitalized. Some of the earlier patients are already well and out of isolation, Bucks County officials said.

The pandemic prompted Gov. Tom Wolf on Thursday to mandate all non-life-sustaining close their physical locations as of 8 p.m. that night.

The governor's order, aimed to slow the spread of coronavirus, will be enforced. Violators could face fines and even imprisonment. Here's more information on that order.
