6 new presumptive positive coronavirus cases in Pennsylvania
HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — State health officials have announced six additional presumptive positive cases of the coronavirus, bringing the statewide total to 47 cases, and the governor urged non-essential businesses in two more Philadelphia-area counties to shut down to help stem the spread of the virus. They included two cases in western Pennsylvania’s Allegheny County — the first reported there. Gov. Tom Wolf also extended to Chester and Bucks counties an earlier call to Montgomery and Delaware counties for non-essential businesses to to close. Essential businesses such as pharmacies, grocery stores and gas stores are to remain open.
