Description of Program and Relief
Guidance for Reopening Businesses
Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf and his administration have announced a plan to guide the reopening of businesses in the Commonwealth. The administration will make reopening decisions on a county- or region-specific basis consisting of three phases, reflecting the following restrictions:
-
Counties and regions in the red phase are to continue to observe the restrictions that remained in effect through April and early May, which required residents to stay at home and prohibited large gatherings, dine-in services at restaurants and bars, and non-essential business operations. Schools will remain closed, and travel will be discouraged unless it is for life-sustaining purposes.
-
Counties and regions in the yellow phase are subject to more moderate restrictions. Restaurants and bars will still be limited to carry-out and delivery. Businesses may resume in-person operations subject to business and building safety orders, but telework must continue where feasible. Indoor recreational facilities, personal care services providers, and entertainment venues must remain closed. Schools will remain closed.
-
Counties and regions in the green phase may resume pre-pandemic social and business activity, provided that individuals and businesses comply with guidance from the CDC and the Pennsylvania Department of Health.
