HARRSIBURG Pa. (Newsradio 1020 KDKA) Gov. Tom Wolf announced his plan to set Pennsylvania on the road to recovery after the COVID-19 outbreak.
Gov. Wolf outlined six key points to his Plan for Pennsylvania:
- Using a data-driven approach to determine reopenings.
- Abiding by guidance and recommendations for employers, individuals, and health care facilities for assured accountability while reopening.
- Making available adequate personal protective equipment and testing before reopening.
- Using a monitoring and surveillance program that allows the commonwealth to deploy swift actions for containment or mitigation.
- Keeping in place protections for vulnerable populations throughout the reopening process, such as limitations on visitors to congregate care facilities and prisons.
- Limiting large gatherings unrelated to occupations through the reopening process.
Using these steps will determine when the state will reopen and daily life can be set back to normalcy.
"In my five years as governor, I have never been more proud of our commonwealth, and I have never been more lifted by the spirit of our people," said Gov. Wolf. "Nurses, doctors, grocery store workers, transit workers, police, EMS, those who have fought through the fear and fog of uncertainty. Manufacturers who have changed their businesses to help provide those on the frontlines what they need."
