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.
