PHILADELPHIA - Gov. Tom Wolf has extended his order for residents to stay at home in most circumstances to additional Pennsylvania counties amid an increase in coronavirus cases.
The governor on Monday extended the order to Carbon, Cumberland, Dauphin and Schuylkill counties, making a total of 26 of Pennsylvania’s 67 counties included. FULL COVERAGE: CORONAVIRUS The order restricts movement to certain health or safety-related travel, or travel to a job at an employer designated by Wolf’s administration as “life-sustaining.” The measures are designed to slow the spread of the virus and give the state’s hospitals time to increase staffing, equipment and bed space.
