HARRISBURG (Newsradio 1020 KDKA) - The stay-at-home order for Pennsylvania will end all across the commonwealth will expire on Thursday, and Governor Tom Wolf’s 90-day disaster declaration order has been renewed.

The declaration provides increased support to state agencies during the response to the coronavirus pandemic.

The stay-at-home order expires at 11:59 p.m. on Thursday.

“As phased reopening continues and all 67 counties are either in the yellow or green phase by Friday, we will no longer have a stay-at-home order in effect,” Gov. Wolf said. “I remind Pennsylvanians that yellow means caution and even in the green phase everyone needs to take precautions to keep themselves and their communities healthy.”

Allegheny County and much of Southwestern PA will move into the green phase of the state’s mitigation plan beginning Friday.

Beaver County will remain in the yellow phase for at least one more week.
