Bucks County will seek further guidance from the state on how it should enforce Gov. Tom Wolf s latest order that restaurants, gyms and entertainment venues need to shut down until Jan. 4.
County Commissioner Chairwoman Diane Ellis-Marseglia said Wednesday that the commissioners have received far too many emails and calls from people upset with the order that Wolf issued last week, and that the county needed further guidance from the state.
Marseglia said she is a gym member and patronizes restaurants, but she understands the need to keep people safe and that it s only fair that all businesses need to comply.

NEWTOWN, PA The owner of the Newtown Athletic Club says he plans to stay open despite Gov. Tom Wolf s suspension order on gyms set to take effect Saturday.
Jim Worthington, owner of Newtown Athletic Club and Horsham Athletic Club, said in a statement on Facebook that his gyms have had no identified community spread out of more than 200,000 check-ins. We believe that we are doing more service to our community if we remain available for them to continue their exercise and healthy lifestyle regimes – which in the end, according to the science, are among the best lines of defense against COVID-19, he said.
