Wolf to ease restrictions elsewhere, but still has concerns
By MARC LEVY Associated Press
HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Gov. Tom Wolf will announce that more counties can see some of his tightest pandemic restrictions lifted, as counties and lawmakers pressure him to ease his orders. In a telephone news conference Thursday with reporters, Wolf said he will make his decision Friday morning. However, he said he hasn’t changed his criteria for deciding which counties can emerge from his stay-at-home order and his business shutdown order. His health secretary echoed that, saying the administration will continue to count cases in prisons, factories and nursing homes in a county’s total. That is bad news for counties that blame much of their outbreak on a single institution.
Pa State Rep. Aaro Bernstine via his Facebook Page is reporting that Beaver County is on the list of counties that Gov. Wolf will announce today that will be moving into the yellow phase next Friday May 22, 2020.
