HARRISBURG, Pa (Newsradio 1020 KDKA) - Non-essential veterinarian services and routine or elective surgical procedures, like spaying and neutering, to take place in Pennsyvania.
The Wolf administration announced the update on Wednesday as the state continues to slowly reopen during the Coronavirus pandemic.
“Veterinary medicine services are life-sustaining businesses and have been permitted to continue to operate throughout the COVID-19 pandemic,” Secretary of Health Dr. Rachel Levine said. “As veterinarians continue to provide services through the phased reopening, it is important to promote public health practices and align with efforts to stop the spread of COVID-19. The Department of Health, along with the departments of Agriculture and State, appreciate the cooperation of the veterinary community and have made the decision to allow for routine or elective surgical procedures to now take place.”
