Stay-At-Home Ordered In Virus Hot Spots By Chris Jones HARRISBURG ¿ Gov. Wolf placed people in Monroe County, Alleghany County and several Southeast Pa. counties under a two-week stay-at-home order Monday afternoon. Wolf said the order should be observed unless staying put would endanger your own health. Monroe County, which borders Pike County to the south, reported 43 cases of COVID-19 and one death. One county further south, Northampton, reported 23 cases and two deaths. Wolf called for extending public school closures across the state, and the state Dept. of Education (PDE) said Monday that all schools in the Commonwealth would remain closed through at least April 6 as a result of the COVID-19 response efforts. When it's determined that students can return to school, administrators, teachers and other staff will be given two days to prepare classrooms, set up cafeterias, schedule transportation and arrange other business operations. Students would return on the third day, the PDE said. The Pa. Dept. of Health reported 165 new cases of COVID-19 Monday, following on 108 on Sunday. Wolf said there have been 60 hospitalizations for the coronavirus since March 6, which constitutes 10 percent of those who tested positive. Some 6,000 people tested negative. Deaths so far across the Commonwealth total six. Thirty-four counties have reported cases of COVID-19 Eighty percent of people infected by coronavirus will recover without complications, Wolf said. "But we can't treat the other 20 percent. We need to buy time," the governor said in explaining his mantra of "Stay calm, stay home, and stay safe." Hospitals don't have the beds or ventilators at present to treat patients if the virus explodes, he said. Earlier, Wolf encouraged compliance with his order that non-life-sustaining businesses in the commonwealth close brick-and-mortar operations, and reminded Pennsylvanians that enforcement of that order began at 8 a.m. Monday, March 23. Locally, the effect of business order was apparent, with many storefronts closed except for drugstores and eateries offering take-out or delivery of food. The Pike County Economic Development Authority announced that it is fielding many requests from local businesses regarding funding options to help them through the COVID-19 health crisis. An update on this aspect of the situation is available on the Pike County Coronavirus COVID-19 Update page. http://bit.ly/pikepa11. .....For more information pick up a copy at a local vendor or subscribe.
