FOX 29's Shaina Humphries reports the latest COVID-19 case numbers from around the Delaware Valley. PHILADELPHIA - Pennsylvania is now reporting at least 21,655 cases of the novel coronavirus, including 494 fatalities.
Gov. Tom Wolf predicted Friday that Pennsylvania will see a surge in new coronavirus cases next week and implored residents to continue to self-isolate to get the worst of the pandemic behind them and allow the state’s economy to gradually open back up. “If the surge occurs next week, as we suspect it will, and it’s within the range of the capacity of our health care system, that’s going to allow us to shut this shutdown down fast, faster than if this drags on,” Wolf told reporters on a conference call.
