The governor has said he aims to open counties in northcentral
and northwestern Pennsylvania on May 8. Wolf has said he will employ a “data
driven” approach to evaluating counties where restrictions can be eased. The
governor has outlined one key metric previously. The Wolf administration will
consider opening counties with fewer than 50 new confirmed cases per 100,000
people over the previous 14 days. If an individual county has a low number of
cases but is surrounded by counties with high caseloads, that county probably
wouldn’t be reopened.
