HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Gov. Tom Wolf is ordering the closure of all schools in Pennsylvania for two weeks, as the state takes sweeping measures aimed at slowing the spread of the new coronavirus. The order affecting more than 1.7 million school children came as confirmed cases in the state leaped to 33 from 22. Wolf a day earlier ordered all schools, day cares and other facilities closed in hard-hit Montgomery County, a Philadelphia suburb of more than 800,000 people. Meanwhile, a wave of school closings was already planned across Pennsylvania.
