(10,885 posts)that everything is closed. It will be easier to list the few places that are open, rather than the many closed.

Gov. Tom Wolf and the state Department of Health on Saturday strongly encouraged bars to close and restaurants to convert to carryout and delivery-only in the Pennsylvania counties surrounding Philadelphia. The state asked food and beverage operations to act now before the Governor or the Secretary of Health find it necessary to compel closures under the law for the interest of public health, according to a letter addressed to business owners.
The recommendation to temporarily close nonessential businesses in Bucks, Chester, Delaware, and Montgomery Counties is intended to contain the spread of the coronavirus and ensure the safety of all people in the county and beyond. Businesses in Philadelphia were not asked to comply.

It is the first time the governor has invoked the states authority to compel closures if the businesses do not comply, citing Section 7301 of the Emergency Management Act. Whether the governor has the power to close businesses is still to be determined.
The following types of businesses, according to the Health Department, should temporarily cease operations:
Bars Community and recreation centers Gyms, including yoga, spin, barre facilities Hair salons, nail salons, and spas Casinos, concert venues, and theaters Sporting facilities and golf courses Nonessential retail facilities, including shopping malls, with the exception of pharmacies or other health-care facilities housed within shopping centers.

(206,006 posts)She was the very first person I knew who wore a mask (early last year) and she takes every precaution. But I do know that she was out of a job for quite awhile last year when everything shut down. BTW, she's also an older person, got trained as a second career and has been doing this for years.
