Tonight, I’m announcing our plan to slowly reopen Pennsylvania.
We will use a measured, scientific approach. We will not just be flipping a switch to go from closed to open.
And, ultimately, #COVID19 will set the timeline.
There will be three phases: red, yellow, and green.

There will be three phases: red, yellow, and green.
All of Pennsylvania is now in the red phase.
Red = Tight restrictions
Only life-sustaining businesses are open
Limited telework
People are staying home, except for critical needs
As regions hit benchmarks that show they’re ready, they’ll move to the yellow phase.

We are now studying conditions in the north-central and northwest regions with a target of moving from red to yellow on May 8.
Additional monitoring will take place and direction will be provided in the next week.

The yellow phase is the first phase of reopening.
Yellow = Fewer restrictions with exceptions
Telework must continue where feasible
Stay at Home restrictions lifted
Retail and child care reopens with strict protections in place

The ultimate goal is to move into the green phase.
Green = Least amount of restrictions
Stay at Home orders lifted
Businesses/individuals will follow guidelines from @PAHealthDept and @CDCgov
This allows for a reopening that we hope will minimize a resurgence of #COVID19.
