HARRISBURG, Pa. (KDKA) -- Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf will announce Friday that additional counties will be moving to the 'yellow' phase of his reopening plan amid the Coronavirus pandemic.
At a press briefing on Thursday, Gov. Tom Wolf said Pennsylvanians can expect more reopening announcements Friday.
Governor Wolf said that the decision of which counties will transition to 'yellow' will be made Friday morning.

Tonight, I'm announcing our plan to slowly reopen Pennsylvania.

We will use a measured, scientific approach. We will not just be flipping a switch to go from closed to open.
And, ultimately, #COVID19 will set the timeline.
