Today I’m announcing new statewide #COVID19 restrictions, effective 7/16:

🔹 All indoor dining: Reduced to 25% capacity
🔹 Bars: Open for sit-down meals at tables only, bar service prohibited
🔹 Telework: Mandated (if possible)
🔹 Gatherings: < 25 people indoor, < 250 outdoor
During the past week, we have seen an unsettling climb in new #COVID19 cases.

#COVID19 cases peaked in Pennsylvania on April 9 with nearly 2,000 new cases.

If we don’t act now, medical experts are projecting that this new surge in cases could soon eclipse the peak in April.
These #COVID19 restrictions worked during the first wave in the spring, and they will work again if we all do our part.

Thank you to every Pennsylvanian for your continued patience and support.

I won't sit back and watch residents who live in counties under Stay at Home orders get sick because local leaders cannot see the risks of #COVID19 and push to reopen prematurely.

Today I am announcing consequences for counties that do not abide by the law to remain closed.
Non-compliant counties won't be eligible for federal stimulus discretionary funds.

Instead, those funds will be allocated to counties working to stop the spread of #COVID19.
Businesses should know that opening in counties that don’t abide by the law will potentially jeopardize their business liability insurance or the protections it provides.

I hosted a virtual press conference to remind non-life-sustaining PA businesses that tomorrow we will begin enforcement if their physical locations aren’t closed by 8 AM.

This is a hard decision, but it needs to be done to give our first responders a chance against #COVID19. Non-life-sustaining businesses ordered to close.

We all have a part to play in battling #COVID19.

Stay home. It’s the only way we can minimize the spread. I know it’s not easy, but it's a necessary sacrifice.

Thank you to those on the front lines who are helping to keep us safe, informed, and healthy. Governor Wolf sitting.

I’m at @PEMAHQ with @PAHealthDept to announce that we now have 22 known coronavirus cases and 180 people under investigation in Pennsylvania.

We also are announcing new guidance for all Pennsylvanians and specific guidance for individuals in Montgomery County. #COVID19 Governor Wolf and officials
Because Montgomery County has had a rapid growth in its number of #COVID19 cases, workers and residents will have special provisions starting Friday, March 13.

I am ordering the closure of all schools, day cares, community centers, gyms, and entertainment venues.
This includes Montgomery County YMCAs, theaters, sporting events, concerts, and nonessential retail facilities.

It includes schools of all types, such as pre-K, higher education and private schools. #COVID19
