(Harrisburg) — Gov. Tom Wolf is expected to release new guidance Monday for businesses in counties moving into the yellow status as they begin the process of reopening after coronavirus shutdowns.
There are 24 counties in the northwest and north-central portions of the state that can move to the new status in the three-step, color-coded program on Friday.
Below is a map of the current reopening status of Pennsylvania counties. Please click here if you cannot see that map.
While the entire state is in the red status until Friday, which includes the closure of the physical locations of businesses not considered to be life-sustaining and has residents on stay-at-home orders, yellow allows for the easing of some of these restrictions.

In the yellow phases:
Counties remaining in the red phase will be considered for reopening in the next several weeks as the state continues to closely monitor the spread of the coronavirus and consult with health experts and county-level officials.
After the yellow phase comes green, which allows all businesses to reopen, but they must follow CDC and Pennsylvania Department of Health guidelines.
