"With more than half of the state now in the green phase of the process to reopen, it is essential that we continue to take precautions to protect against COVID-19," Health Secretary Dr. Rachel Levine said. "The commonwealth's careful, measured approach to reopening is working as we see case counts continue to decline even as many other states see increases. But the virus has not gone away. Each of us has a responsibility to continue to protect ourselves, our loved ones and others by wearing a mask, maintaining social distancing and washing our hands frequently. Together we can protect our most vulnerable Pennsylvanians, our essential workers and our healthcare system."
