HARRISBURG (Newsradio 1020 KDKA) - On Tuesday night, the House voted to bring an end to the emergency declaration from COVID-19. The resolution was reached under the authority that is given to the General Assembly under the Pennsylvania Constitution.
Now that the resolution has been instituted, the next step is for Governor Wolf to either issue an executive order or announce the end of the emergency declaration.
"Our residents have made their voices loud and clear.
"The COVID-19 curve is flat, and our hospital systems are not overrun with cases.
"Our business owners, workers and families no longer need to live under state-imposed quarantines," House Majority Leader Bryan Cutler said.
"The General Assembly has taken several significant steps to ensure nursing homes, long-term care facilities, and those most at-risk for contracting the virus have the resources necessary to save and protect lives.
"Today’s vote reflects the actions of millions of Pennsylvanians who are already back at work, social distancing and making their own choices to protect themselves while also providing for their families and promoting equality for every resident of the Commonwealth."
