Non-Life Sustaining Business Closures Begin March 23 Due To Coronavirus

Press release from the City of Bethlehem:

Saturday, March 21

Due to the high volume of waiver requests, the Wolf Administration is delaying enforcement of Governor Tom Wolf's order and the Secretary of Health's order that all non-life-sustaining businesses in Pennsylvania must close their physical locations to slow the spread of COVID-19.

Per Governor Wolf's and Dr. Levine's orders, businesses that were non-life sustaining were ordered to close their physical locations on March 19 at 8 p.m. This order stands, only the enforcement timing will change and become effective on Monday, March 23, at 8 a.m.

Please monitor the city's website and social media for additional information including closures of city facilities, postponement of public meetings and updates on COVID-19.
