MONTGOMERY COUNTY, PA — Two more cases of coronavirus have been confirmed in Pennsylvania, the state said Saturday. Both of them are in Montgomery County.

It’s believed they contracted the virus after traveling to parts of the United States where it is present.

One of the victims is male and one is female, and one is from the western part of the county while one is from the eastern part, according to the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office.

Officials did not specify exactly where they traveled, and they declined to go into further specifics on the hometowns of the individuals in order to protect their privacy.

“Even with these new cases, I want to reassure Pennsylvanians that the commonwealth is prepared and responding appropriately and swiftly so that information and resources are available,” Gov. Wolf said in a statement. “I have been coordinating with legislative leaders from both parties, and we have agreed to immediately work toward a package that would provide resources to ensure we are aggressively mitigating the spread of COVID-19.”

"Montgomery County officials have been preparing for the eventuality of COVID-19 within the County, and are taking the appropriate steps," Valerie A. Arkoosh, Chair of the Montgomery County Board of Commissioners. "I want to remind everyone to follow the CDC COVID-19 prevention guidelines, and if you have symptoms stay at home and call your healthcare provider."

The arrival of coronavirus in Pennsylvania has been expected by authorities, with health officials saying a week ago that some spread of the virus was a matter of if, not when.

“While we anticipate that there will be more Pennsylvanians with COVID-19 in the coming days and weeks, it is important for residents to know the commonwealth is prepared and that they should be, too,” Sec. of Health Rachel Levine added.
