Although all 67 counties in Pennsylvania are in the green phase, it is safest to limit all non-life-sustaining related travel throughout the state and outside of the state as much as possible. Individuals who must commute to and from work should limit additional stops or interactions in states with high numbers of COVID-19 cases.
