HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Pennsylvania has reported another 554 deaths from the coronavirus to pass 3,000 total, and Gov. Tom Wolf says he isn’t committing to a particular schedule to lift stay-at-home restrictions in the state’s counties or regions. The large number of new deaths reported Tuesday by the state Department of Health were spread out over the previous two weeks. It comes as case growth appears to slow in many parts of Pennsylvania and Wolf’s administration moves to lighten its restrictions on movement and business activity. Wolf maintained Tuesday that he would stick to a reopening process that relies on what he sees as indicators tied to safety.
