HARRISBURG, Pa. - Some counties in Pennsylvania could see practically all of the state’s pandemic restrictions on business activity and gatherings lifted in the coming days, other than social-distancing and health-monitoring guidelines that are in place to help stop the spread of the coronarivus.

Thursday’s announcement by Gov. Tom Wolf — that some counties could get to move to the least-restrictive “green” phase of his three-color traffic-signal reopening plan stages — could become official on Friday. “So I’ll be announcing a whole range of counties tomorrow moving from red to yellow and the hope is that we’ll also be making some counties that might even be moving from yellow to green tomorrow,” Wolf told reporters on a conference call.

Psychotherapist Mary Jo Rapini shares how and what partners should prepare for the love holiday.They met more than twenty years ago, working at a local Central Market store where she was managing gift baskets, and he was managing the wine department."He was in love with me by date two, that's what he said," says Kim. A year later they married, and the next year, they had their son.

In 2019, he was diagnosed with stage four renal disease and needed a kidney donor.
