BREAKING: Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf to order statewide shutdown over COVID-19
HARRISBURG — Gov. Tom Wolf on Monday will order a statewide shutdown as the number of COVID-19 cases in Pennsylvania continues to grow, according to three sources familiar with the decision.
Mr. Wolf and other state officials will release more details to the public at 2 p.m.
The governor had previously placed four counties — Bucks, Chester, Delaware, and Montgomery — under a shutdown order. That involved asking non-essential businesses like gyms, hair salons, and concert venues to close for 14 days. Wolf said pharmacies, grocery stores, and gas stations should stay open.
Residents there were urged to curtail any non-essential travel.
