This week, local elected officials and health experts in Allegheny County quickly spoke out against the restaurant owners’ planned action. Dr. Debra Bogen, director of the county’s health department, pleaded with the business owners to rethink their plan. Across the state in Philadelphia and other parts of eastern Pennsylvania, restaurant owners said they too were frustrated by the governor’s rules but were trying to comply as best they could. Meanwhile, Allegheny County health authorities ordered a Pittsburgh restaurant and nightclub called Seven to shut down for a week over allegations that it violated coronavirus rules, the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reported. The restaurant also allegedly denied entry to a county health inspector until the inspector received assistance from Pittsburgh police, the report said.
