Gov. Wolf to Pennsylvania: We Must Stay the Course, We Must Follow the Law

Governor Tom Wolf reminded Pennsylvanians that the state's actions to stop the spread of COVID-19 are working and that we must stay the course and follow the law or there will be negative consequences.

"Pennsylvanians are fighting for our lives," Gov. Wolf said. "We have fought this deadly virus in the best way we can, and sacrificed in ways we could never have imagined. It has been a new kind of heroism - in many ways a quiet heroism. These heroic acts deserve to be met not by surrendering, but by staying the course."

The governor reiterated that reopening too soon can cause COVID-19 to spread, for cases and deaths to spike and for closures to be reinstated perhaps for much longer.
