“As we start to see the number of new COVID-19 cases decrease across the state that does not mean we can stop practicing social distancing,” Secretary of Health Dr. Rachel Levine said.
“We must continue to stay home to protect ourselves, our families and our community. If you must go out, please make as few trips as possible and wear a mask to protect not only yourself, but others.
We need all Pennsylvanians to continue to heed these efforts to protect our vulnerable Pennsylvanians, our health care workers and front-line responders.”
