Stay-At-Home Order Expands

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) – Gov. Tom Wolf is ordering a big expansion of his stay-at-home order, from 10 to 19 counties. Wolf’s Friday order adds Berks, Butler, Lackawanna, Lancaster, Luzerne, Pike, Wayne, Westmoreland and York counties. Already included were the state’s most populous counties, including Philadelphia and Allegheny County. In the meantime, a shuttered reform school for boys in suburban Philadelphia and Temple University’s sports and events center could be used as overflow as coronavirus cases grow and hospitals are pressed for space. Wolf’s administration announced that it had confirmed 531 more coronavirus cases, a 30% jump to more than 2,200, and six more deaths for a total of 22.
