Governor Wolf's Stay at Home Order

Here's What it Means for You

Effective yesterday (March 23), Governor Wolf issued a

"stay at home" order, effective through April 6.

Here's what we can do during this time.

RESIDENTS CAN:

• Perform tasks essential to maintain your own health and safety and that of family/household members and pets, such as obtaining medicine/medical supplies, visiting a health care professional, or obtaining work-from-home supplies. I recommend postponing nonessential doctors' visits. 

• Get necessary services or supplies for yourself or others and deliver them, such as food and household/cleaning products. This includes volunteer efforts to distribute meals and life-sustaining services to those in need.

• Engage in outdoor activity, such as walking, hiking or running as long as you maintain social distance (6').

• Go to work to provide essential products and services for a life-sustaining business.

• Travel:

  • To perform any of the above tasks.

  • To care for elderly, minors, dependents, persons with disabilities, or other vulnerable people.

  • To or from educational institutions to receive materials for distance learning, meals, and related services.

  • To return to your primary residence (for example, college students).

  • As required by law enforcement or court order.

ADDITIONAL IMPORTANT POINTS:

• Homeless individuals are not subject to this policy.

• International students, foster youth, and any other students who would otherwise experience displacement or homelessness as a result of campus closures may remain in campus housing.

• Restaurants can still provide curbside take-out and delivery of food. Customers are not permitted inside restaurants, and establishments must adhere to the Borough's current Restaurant Take-Out Food Procedures.
