New COVID-19 restrictions could be handed down in Pa., Allegheny County executive says

preview

New restrictions could be announced by Pa. on Wednesday By: PITTSBURGH — New statewide restrictions could soon be announced, Allegheny County Executive Rich Fitzgerald said Tuesday. “We’re hopeful,” he said. As of Tuesday afternoon, Fitzgerald said he wasn’t aware of the full details but expects the announcement to involve limiting gatherings. Although he doesn’t anticipate a shutdown, he does expect the state to roll out orders versus recommendations. BREAKING:Allegheny County Executive announcing he believes we will learn of new restrictions from the state tomorrow. The county is not expecting to roll out its own separate mitigation efforts at this time — Liz Kilmer (@LizKilmerWPXI) “We want to keep people from gathering with people who aren’t in their household,” he said. “Unfortunately, recommendations — strong recommendations — haven’t allowed us to see an improvement in the numbers that we’ve had over these last couple of weeks ... so before it gets out of hand even more than it is, they want to take these types of measures.” Fitzgerald said he expected the state to announce the new mitigation efforts Wednesday, but the changes wouldn’t take effect until this weekend. Right now, the county doesn’t plan to announce separate restrictions. On Wednesday, a state spokesperson said there were no plans for a news conference from the Governor’s Office or Department of Health. JUST IN: State spokesperson tells me there is NO plan for a press briefing today regarding new mitigation efforts — Liz Kilmer (@LizKilmerWPXI) Fitzgerald’s comments came after Gov. Tom Wolf took part in a statewide press conference Monday, warning that new mitigation efforts could be on the way. The owner of a gym, which is among businesses deemed “nonessential” by the state, told Channel 11 he plans on staying open regardless of what happens. “We’ll see what he says,” said Matt Mertz, owner of Powerhouse Gym Pittsburgh. “We have no intentions of shutting down, so we will see what he says.” Customers are required to wear a mask to get inside Powerhouse Gym, but Mertz said he doesn’t require his members to keep their masks on while inside because he is not sure whether they have a medical condition that prevents them from wearing one. His main focus is giving his customers a place he believes they need. TRENDING NOW: States prepare for COVID-19 vaccine distribution © 2020 Cox Media Group
