Pennsylvania's Planned Re-Opening Phases Explained

On April 17, Gov. Tom Wolf outlined the standards the administration will use for reopening and on April 20. The governor announced a target date of May 8 for the beginning of phased reopening and easing of restrictions.

Currently, all of Pennsylvania is “red,” meaning all 12.8 million residents are under stay-at-home orders and all non-life-sustaining businesses are closed.

Regions and counties can move from red to yellow, and then yellow to green. Counties may also revert back to “red” status if needed, Wolf said on a recent conference call.
