Department of Health Secretary Dr. Rachel Levine on Wednesday updated the travel order issued on Nov. 17, to clarify testing and quarantine requirements for people entering the commonwealth or returning home.
“This update keeps in place the need for people visiting and returning to Pennsylvania to have a negative test or quarantine for 14 days upon arrival,” Levine said in a press release. “We still recommend that Pennsylvanians do not travel, and the stay-at-home advisory I issued earlier this week remains in effect. I know that it is hard not to travel during this holiday season, but it is the right thing to do to protect one another from this devastating virus.”
The amended order requires travelers over the age of 11 entering Pennsylvania from locations outside the commonwealth, as well as Pennsylvanians returning home, to provide evidence of a negative COVID-19 test or place themselves in travel quarantine for 14 days upon entering, according to the release. If they receive a negative test result during the travel quarantine period, they can leave travel quarantine, the release said, adding:
The order also clarifies that in addition to the exemptions in the previous order, people returning to the commonwealth after leaving the state for less than 24 hours and individuals complying with a court order, including child custody, are exempt from the testing and quarantine requirements.
In addition, the order clarifies the difference between a travel quarantine and isolation and quarantine when someone tests positive for COVID-19 or is exposed to a positive case. Travel quarantine means that people quarantining after travel who have not been identified as a close contact of someone who tested positive for COVID-19 are permitted to end quarantine once they receive a negative test result.
Individuals are permitted to enter the commonwealth if they are awaiting a test result but must travel quarantine until a negative test result is received, even if they are asymptomatic.
The Wolf administration stresses the role Pennsylvanians play in helping to reduce the spread of COVID-19:
Wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds or use hand sanitizer if soap and water are not available.
Cover any coughs or sneezes with your elbow, not your hands.
Clean surfaces frequently.
Stay home to avoid spreading COVID-19, especially if you are unwell.
If you must go out, you are required to wear a mask when in a business or where it is difficult to maintain proper social distancing.

Dr. (Dickless) Richard aka "Rachel" Levine
Still has Y chromosome
Pennsylvania Ping!
Please ping me with articles of interest.
FReepmail me to be added to the list.
Hey Wolf, you and that Henry Kissenger-looking freak you hang with
KMA!
I drove down to PA today to pick up pies at the Farmstand and my leaf blower at the Lake. Am I doomed? 😷🤧🤮🤢🤑
Yeah, I’ll follow orders from a dude in a dress that can’t figure out which bathroom he should use.
YeahRightSureOk....
Time for some SERIOUS Civil Disobedience.
You should have driven back and forth across the state line over and over again, just because....
Riddle me this: Who is the ugliest man and at the same time the ugliest fake woman on the planet?
Answer : “Rachel” Levine
Follow the science! Except of course for that whole x and Y chromosome thingy. We don’t believe in THAT science.
BTW, I NEVER refer to the PA health department head by the name Rachel, but rather by HIS proper name, Richard. I also typically use a nickname that seems appropriate, but that I won’t post in the name of keeping the site PG rated. I’m sure most of you can figure it out.
Dickless is a science denier. He does believe in chromosomes. How in the hell can a science denier be secretary of health?
Many FReepers will be thanking you for restoring their, ur, appetites.
^ does not believe ^
> people visiting and returning to Pennsylvania to have a negative test or quarantine for 14 days upon arrival <
How in hell will Pennsylvania enforce that?
I guess Secretary Levine never heard of the First Rule of Command: “Never give an order you know will not be obeyed.”
I live in Maryland. Nearest town is in Pennsylvania. I have a PO box in that town. Question: Do I have to quarantine every time I check my PO box?
Gee, I went to Pennsylvania yesterday for work. I flat out forgot to quarantine for two weeks.
I’ll probably forget again when I go back on Monday,
Easier than playing alleyway pharmacist and distributing saline and Viagra from a duffel bag......Susanna Hoffs. *ROWR*
Do you HAVE to?
No.
You don’t have to do ANYTHING some dude in a dress tells you to do.
You’re an American. And “Hell NO” is an American’s favorite phrase...Followed by “Lock and Load.”
Government officials are taking medical advice from a man who had his **** chopped off voluntarily and wears a dress while demanding to be called a woman.
And people are going along with it.
Yep, our society is completely insane.

She’s still pretty.
Same as the Flashdance chick.
