"We talked about for many months the anticipation of a fall resurgence and that’s what we're seeing now," Levine said.

Pennsylvania’s Department of Health confirmed an additional 2,795 cases of COVID-19 as of Wednesday, noting that daily increases are now the highest they have ever been since the start of the pandemic. 

Persistent layoffs are slowing momentum in the labor market, which bodes poorly for the broader U.S. recovery as millions of out-of-work Americans delay their mortgage and rent payments. 

The increase in Pennsylvania COVID-19 cases over the past week are the first signs the virus is surging into the fall, according to state Secretary of Health Dr. Rachel Levine.

In the coronavirus era the path to small business succession and exit planning is lined with planning, purpose, flexibility and careful choices. 

In an effort to bolster the state’s contact tracing efforts, health department officials are testing an “exposure-notification” app that would alert individuals after coming into close contact with a COVID-19-positive person.

OraSure said the support from BARDA will help it complete development of the ELISA and file for Emergency Use Authorization from the Food & Drug Administration to enter the U.S market.

All long-term care providers in the state, including nursing, personal care and assisted living facilities, are required to complete initial COVID-19 baseline testing on all staff and residents by July 24, according to a new order issued by the Wolf administration.

Gov. Tom Wolf will need to expand liability protections to manufacturers, small businesses and more health care providers or risk Pennsylvania businesses refusing to open for fear of frivolous COVID-19 related lawsuits, said a coalition of state associations.

Gov. Tom Wolf signed a bill into law a bill that will provide $500 million in emergency funding to help long-term care providers stop the spread of COVID-19 in their facilities.
