Eager to reopen, local officials across Pennsylvania are set to defy Gov. The governor has outlined a phased reopening plan, complete with a color-coded readiness chart. Wolf announced Friday that 24 more counties have qualified as “yellow,” meaning they can partially reopen Friday, while extending stay-at-home orders for the remaining “red” counties until early June. They plan to use their power to proceed with their own reopening plans, despite the fact that Pennsylvania confirmed 1,323 new coronavirus cases in a single day on Friday. Wolf said he plans to upgrade an additional 13 counties on May 15, barring any setbacks in controlling the virus.
