PIKE COUNTY \u2013 Today, to mitigate the spread of Coronavirus (COVID-19), Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf and Secretary of Health Dr. Rachel Levine revised the recently issued \u201cStay at Home\u201d order to include Pike County.
\nThe amended order takes effect at 8:00 p.m. Friday, March 27, 2020, and will continue until April 6, 2020.
\nThe Pike County Commissioners are urging municipal officials and homeowner associations to help get this information to their residents, along with a reminder to them to be ever more vigilant about social distancing.
\n\u201cThe Stay at Home Order is a more urgent request for people to remain at home during this public health crisis,\u201d says Pike County Commissioner Chairman Matthew Osterberg. \u201cFor example, try to get groceries once per week instead of daily, and refrain from all non-essential travel. With the warm weather and beautiful days we have been experiencing, take the opportunity to be outside in your yard or enjoy a walk along one of Pike County\u2019s many trails while practicing social distancing.\u201c<\/p>\n
