HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Gov. Tom Wolf says all schools and nonessential businesses will remain closed indefinitely as Pennsylvania reports nearly 700 new cases of the coronavirus. Wolf also added four more counties to a separate stay-at-home order and extended its duration by more than three weeks, through at least April 30.  More than 10 million people, or 80% of the state’s population, have now been instructed to remain in their homes. The Democratic governor says he knows the extended shutdown of businesses, schools and big swaths of daily life “isn’t easy to hear,” but is necessary to save lives and keep hospitals from becoming overwhelmed.
