On Friday, Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf vetoed House Bill 2513, which would have mostly returned the restaurant industry to pre-July 15 guidelines.  But, it’s unlikely that the veto is the last we’ll hear about the bill.

The recommendation for travelers coming into Pennsylvania marks a notable shift in which states are being flagged nationwide for the most alarming increases of coronavirus cases.

As he said he would, Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf today vetoed a bill that would have rolled back many of the COVID-19 safety restrictions at bars and restaurants that his administration has put into place.

Wolf said the plan to pursue a carbon capture and storage system is part of the state’s ongoing efforts to combat the effects of global warming, adding the infrastructure project would also bring jobs to the commonwealth.

In his memorandum filed on Tuesday, Stickman reaffirmed his contention that Wolf and Health Secretary Rachel Levine violated citizens’ First Amendment’s right of assembly and the due process and equal protection clauses of the 14th Amendment.

This has been a challenging year for everyone, but food banks around the country have been especially hard hit, from supply chain disruptions to distribution logistics. 

Restaurants may increase their dining capacity from the current 25% restriction to 50% if they certify online that they are adhering to all COVID-19 preventative measures.

Starting Monday bars and restaurants in Pennsylvania can operate at 50% capacity, and they’ll be able to serve alcohol until 11 p.m.

Saying the COVID-19 pandemic has made the issue more important than ever, Gov. Tom Wolf called on the general assembly to pass legislation for paid sick and family leave time.

Dozens of Central Pennsylvania businesses and service agencies with employees on the front lines during the COVID-19 pandemic, have received part of $50 million in state grants to provide those workers with hazard pay.

“The green phase was promising from the business perspective. Everyone expected green means go, we’d be open and back to normal, and that has not happened,” said Rebecca Warren, a partner at Norris McLaughlin P.A

The county filed suit Wednesday morning over the matter, just days after Wolf's decision to not release the funding through the County Relief Block Grant program became public. 

Maintaining personal protection equipment for patients and staff has become a full-time job for independent health care providers who have not received the help from the state that their counterparts in health care systems have.

 As Pennsylvania’s rate of COVID-19 infections begin to climb since moving into the green phase of the state’s reopening plan, Gov. Tom Wolf is expected to issue new orders today that will that will go into effect at 12:01 a.m. July 16.
