The commonwealth’s first lady awaits test results. Wolf encouraged Pennsylvanians to adhere to coronavirus guidelines as much as possible, but said that following government mandates for COVID "is not a guarantee" against contracting the virus.
I am continuing to serve the commonwealth and performing all of my duties remotely, as many are doing during the pandemic.

I ask all Pennsylvanians to wear a mask, stay home as much as possible, socially distance yourself from those not in your household, and, most of all, take care of each other and stay safe.

Pennsylvania's restrictions on businesses, schools, and workers for coronavirus prevention are some of the most strict nationwide.
