According to Wof, the counties of Dauphin, Franklin, Huntingdon, Luzerne, Monroe, Perry, Pike, and Schuylkill will move to Green effective at 12:01 a.m. on Friday, June 19, 2020.
The green phase eases most restrictions by lifting the stay-at-home and business closure orders to allow the economy to strategically reopen while continuing to prioritize public health. Some restrictions, such as mask-wearing, do remain in place.
While this phase facilitates a return to a “new normal,” it is equally important to continue to monitor public health indicators and adjust orders and restrictions as necessary to ensure the spread of disease remains at a minimum.
