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.

Pennsylvania’s fire, rescue and EMS companies will be eligible for $50 million worth of grant funding through the Office of State Fire Commissioner, Gov. Tom Wolf announced on Thursday.

A new set of guidelines for gatherings during the COVID-19 pandemic determine the maximum occupancy of an indoor or outdoor event using the venue’s occupancy rate.

Gov. Wolf said Monday 5,373 additional small businesses are set to receive $96 million in state grants to weather the economic conditions of the COVID-19 pandemic through the second round of the commonwealth’s statewide COVID-19 grant program, announced in July.

Gov. Tom Wolf established a number of councils and commissions on Friday that his administration says will help the state address comprehensive reforms in both physical and behavioral health and make health care easier to access for Pennsylvanians.

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.

Gov. Tom Wolf on Thursday followed through with his promise to veto legislation that would have stripped the state’s top environmental regulatory agency from implementing a carbon-reduction initiative without approval from the General Assembly.

A federal judge this week denied Gov. Tom Wolf’s motion to uphold limitations on in-person gatherings while administration officials work to appeal a Sept. 14 ruling that said some of the governor’s COVID-19 mitigation orders were unconstitutional.

State government officials on Tuesday launched a smartphone app that will alert users when they have come in close contact with someone with COVID-19.

Gov. Tom Wolf urged lawmakers to approve $325 million in aid for small businesses as part of a statewide pandemic relief package funded by Pennsylvania’s CARES Act allocation. The governor also proposed financing long-term small business support programs by legalizing recreational marijuana and taxing it.
