Governor on Virus: ‘Light at the end of the tunnel’

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) – Reflecting on a year of pandemic, Gov. Tom Wolf says Pennsylvania has been through a tough and trying time but that he sees “light at the end of the tunnel” with the growing availability of vaccines. Wolf spoke at a news conference Friday outside a Rite Aid pharmacy where people were getting COVID-19 shots. The state Department of Health says more than 868,000 people have been fully vaccinated in Pennsylvania. It was on March 6, 2020, that Wolf announced Pennsylvania’s first two confirmed cases of the new coronavirus. Since then, Pennsylvania has counted more than 944,000 confirmed or probable cases of COVID-19 and attributed more than 24,200 deaths to it.
