Gov. Tom Wolf said at a Tuesday press briefing that the southwest region can expect an announcement on moving from the red to yellow phase “soon.” “As I said last week, southwestern Pennsylvania is doing a really good job. We’re doing the best we can to keep people safe within the constraints of this deadly virus.” “The southwest is doing a great job, and the hope is that they can move into the yellow phase like the 24 counties I announced last Friday fairly quickly,” Gov. Wolf added. On Friday, the governor announced that 24 counties in the rural northern part of the state would reopen on May 8th. Wolf, at the time, said the southwest region would remain in the “red” phase, meaning the stay-at-home order would stay in place until the area is moved into the “yellow” phase.
