Allegheny County remains stuck at red light

Twenty-four Pennsylvania counties will be allowed to start reopening next Friday, but Allegheny is not one of them.

Under a plan announced today by Governor Tom Wolf and secretary of health Rachel Levine, stay-at-home orders will be lifted and retail stores will be allowed to reopen in those 24 counties, which are in the north-western and north-central portions of the Commonwealth.

Lawrence County is the closest of those to Pittsburgh.

Stay-at-home orders will remain in effect for the other 43 counties in Pennsylvania, although it's possible this part of the state will get clearance to begin moving out of the total-shutdown stage in the not-too-distant future.
