Now restrictions on indoor dining, gyms, youth sports and more go into effect Saturday. (PA Cast)
HARRISBURG, PA — An array of new coronavirus mitigation measures will go into effect across Pennsylvania on Saturday, as the state grapples with escalating coronavirus cases that are strapping hospital capacities and contributing to a rising number of deaths.
The new restrictions, which Gov. Tom Wolf announced Thursday, will put Pennsylvania "on pause" until Jan. 4, 2021.
Among the restrictions is a ban on indoor dining, as well as the closure of indoor gym facilities. Plus, youth sports will be paused, retail stores will be under reduced capacity, and gathering sizes have been scaled back once again.
