Gov. Tom Wolf’s administration is advising Pennsylvanians to stay home or stay safe if they do go out ahead of and during the July Fourth weekend.
It’s also asking travelers coming from 15 states to quarantine for 14 days upon their arrival in the Keystone State.
A news release from Wolf’s office on Thursday said anyone entering Pa. from Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Louisiana, Mississippi, Nevada, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Utah “will need to quarantine for 14 days”. It did not say, however, how that directive would be enforced.

That said, based on a response from the Health Department about enforcement related to Wednesday’s expanded face-covering order that was signed by Health Department Secretary Dr. Rachel Levine, it’s likely that the Wolf administration will hope travelers follow their request as opposed to using any kind of legal action to ensure quarantining happens.
It is recommended to stay home for 14 days if you return from a place with a high number of COVID-19 cases, as well.
“The green phase is not a green light to stop exercising caution in large, Levine said in a news release. “Although it is the holiday weekend, Pennsylvanians should refrain from attending large gatherings, and if you do go out and interact with others, wear a mask.
“My mask protects you, and your mask protects me. Wearing a mask shows that you care about others, and that you are committed to protecting the lives of those around you.”
Every Pa. county will be in the green phase of Wolf’s reopening plan to start the holiday weekend, as Lebanon is the final county to move into it on Friday at 12:01 a.m. Some areas of the state, however, have limited some things; Philadelphia county is currently under a modified green phase and is not allowing indoor dining, while Allegheny County has halted dine-in alcohol sales in hopes of slowing a sharp uptick of confirmed coronavirus cases in Pittsburgh and areas surrounding it.
Pa. reported it’s highest number of new coronavirus cases since May on Thursday with 832, but Spotlight Pa. says that there is not yet a spike in hospitalizations and also that the percent of tests coming back as positive continues to fall.
The Wolf administration also addressed the upcoming July Fourth holiday weekend in its news release.
“Pennsylvanians are encouraged to continue to practice social distancing and other preventive measures, including washing your hands frequently, covering coughs and sneezes, cleaning surfaces often, wearing a mask and staying home if you are sick to help reduce the spread of COVID-19,” the news release said.

Pennsylvania Ping!
Please ping me with articles of interest.
FReepmail me to be added to the list.
Quit abusing the breaking news sidebar.
WTF didn’t Wolf and “Richardless” issue such an order in March for people coming from NY, NJ, and CT?
More shutting the barn door after the horses get out.
Another diversion to draw attention away from today’s stats showing the 68.4 of the PA COVID deaths have occurred in nursing homes. No other state has a higher percentage.
Just get the Stupid Cold and move on...
This has been such an Exercise in Ridiculousness !!!
Because it wasn’t close enough to the Fall.
We need more cases to shut down again.
How were the States chosen?
Aside from CA and NV all red states.
This is all about reinforcing a narrative.
Any state that laughed at Tommie the Commie or the Dems or that thing that runs the Health Dept.
Gee, not NYS, Wolf?
Considering the cases popping Upstate that’s a surprising decision.
At least if it’s public health you’re worried about.
NY, PA, and NJ are the state with governors refusing to cooperate with Steve Scalise’s nursing home inquiry...
Is Mr. Tranny still free and in control?
Thousands murdered; but .... HIS MOM taken out first.
Perhaps the states chosen depend on something else.
Because Cuomo was calling the shots that Gov.s of all states bordering NY would be following his lead. He appointed himself the grand czar for the upper East Coast states. Wolf was more than happy to comply.
All but two of them were carried by the President. A coincidence?
Hey, so 34 states are totes cool!
Paging Wolf...
There was a mass shooting, too.
Looks like Rachel got a new wig.
She is getting too glamorous for words.
“Kids should wear masks for youth sports...”
But they need more oxygen when they exercise!!!!
....Dr. Rachel Levine....
What’s his real name?
PHOOEY!!!!
Richard. But many call him “Dickless”.
