PITTSBURGH (Newsradio 1020 KDKA) - Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf says there can be no return to “shelter in place” rules, even if the state experiences a second wave of COVID-19 this fall.
Wolf says the order he imposed in March was so the state could buy time to avoid overrunning hospital and healthcare systems.
“We’re in a different place now then we were and I think that you have to recognize that the economic and social, personal toll of having to shelter in place and all those things, we just can’t do that,” said Wolf.
Wolf adds hospital systems are now better prepared.
“Pennsylvania, we have 6,000 about ventilators, I think 230 are being used right now for COVID-19 patients.”
Wolf tells the KDKA Radio Morning Show expanded coronavirus testing and contact tracing will help, even if there is a fall resurgence.
