All Non-Life-Sustaining Businesses Ordered To Close In PA

If you are in Pennsylvania and trying to figure out what is open and what is closed, we can tell you that not very much will be open. As of 8 pm Thursday, March 19 all non-life-sustaining businesses are being ordered to close to help stop the spread of COVID-19.

According to 3CBS Philly, the order to close all non-life-sustaining businesses is being strictly enforced. Enforcement actions will be taken for the businesses that don't close for the time being.

In a statement, the governor of Pennsylvania said that these actions are “to protect the health and safety of all Pennsylvanians, we need to take more aggressive mitigation actions.”

It is unfortunate how much the number of coronavirus cases has gone up. Governor Wolf has gotten more strict with trying to stop the spread of the coronavirus after sharing the first death within the state due to the virus on Wednesday, March 18.
