“COVID-19 cases and deaths continue to rise in Pennsylvania,
and even though the daily increases are not exponential, now is not the time to
become complacent,” Secretary of Health Dr. Rachel Levine said. “We must
continue to stay home to protect ourselves, our families, our community. If you
must go out, please make as few trips as possible and wear a mask to protect
not only yourself, but other people as well. We need all Pennsylvanians to
continue to heed these efforts to protect our vulnerable Pennsylvanians, our
health care workers and frontline responders.”
