No State-Ordered Shutdown In Butler County

(WPXI) – Washington County is still waiting on word from the Governor, but we now know that there will be no state-ordered shutdown of dine-in service at bars and restaurants in Butler County, according to the county commissioners. County leaders said they were told Friday that Gov. Tom Wolf and Department of Health would not be putting a halt to it due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Butler County was one of several areas in western Pennsylvania that state officials indicated would be subject to measures aimed at curbing the rising levels of COVID-19 cases. Other counties affected included Washington and Westmoreland, but no orders have yet come down for state leaders.
