North Penn Now has since received additional confirmation for Bucks and Montgomery counties, and FOX29 has confirmed the rest. To view their report, click here.
Original story follows…
In addition to Montgomery County, Berks, Bucks, Chester,
Delaware, Erie, Lancaster, Lackawanna, Lehigh, Northampton, Philadelphia and
Susquehanna counties will also move into the green phase.
Though Philadelphia County met the criteria and will move to the
state’s green phase on June 26, Wolf said that local officials will maintain some
additional restrictions until July 3.
Green Phase
After a county transitions to the yellow phase, the state is closely monitoring for increased risk, such as significant outbreaks. If overall risk remains mitigated for 14 days, the county will transition to the green phase.
The green phase eases most restrictions by continuing the suspension of the stay-at-home and business closure orders to allow the economy to strategically reopen while continuing to prioritize public health.
While this phase will facilitate a return to a “new normal,” it is equally important to continue to monitor public health indicators and adjust orders and restrictions as necessary to ensure the spread of disease remains at a minimum.
