Gov. Wolf announced that next Friday, May 8, some — but not all — restrictions will lift in 24 counties with low population density, low per capita COVID-19 case counts and where case numbers have stabilized. They will be moving from the red stage the governor described last week to the yellow cautionary stage. Businesses unable to maintain social distancing such as gyms, theaters, schools and restaurants will remain closed. Organized sports are also not allowed in the yellow phase. More on the plan to incrementally open the commonwealth here.

The Borough continues to encourage everyone to follow the Governor’s latest “Stay at Home Order” as well as the CDC guidelines including hand washing, social distancing and covering your mouth and nose with a cloth face cover when around others.

Thank you all! Stay safe and be well!
