Gov. Tom Wolf and Pa. Department of Health Secretary Dr. Rachel Levine held a press conference Monday to announce new measures as coronavirus cases continue to surge across the state.

Levine also issued the suspension of alcohol sales at all bars and restaurants between 5 p.m Nov. 25 and 8 a.m Nov. 26. 

"As the Secretary of Health, I have issued a series of advisories and orders intended to help stop the spread during this critical time, to protect our hospitals, our health care workers, and the lives of our fellow Pennsylvanians," Dr. Levine said.

"Our collective responsibility continues to be to protect our communities, our health care workers, and our most vulnerable Pennsylvanians from COVID-19. That has not changed," she said.

Pennsylvania's positivity rate has climbed to 11.1% with its seven-day increase of over 36,000 new cases health officials said.

Levine said that there are currently 59 Pennsylvania's counties at the "substantial" transmission level for at least two weeks.

Officials are now requiring Pre-K through 12th-grade public schools in those counties to commit to safety measures to "ensure the safety and well-being of students and teachers.

If they choose to not comply then, those schools must move fully remote without all extra-curricular activities.

By 5 p.m on Nov. 30, chief school administrators and the governing body president/chair must sign an attestation form stating they have either transitioned to fully remote learning or are complying with the orders if they are conducting any in-person instruction while in the "substantial" range of transmission.
