On May 7, Tom Wolf and Secretary of Health Dr. Rachel Levine extended the orders for all counties in red to June 4, and signed new orders for the 24 counties moving to yellow at 12:01 a.m. tomorrow morning, May 8.
The extended stay-at-home order remains the same as the original statewide stay-at-home order announced on April 1, which was set to expire May 7 at midnight and is now extended to June 4. 
Yellow Phase Counties

The yellow phase order also addresses the limited reopening of businesses in the yellow phase, detailing those businesses previously deemed non-life-sustaining as being permitted to reopen if they follow the guidance for safety for staff, customers, and facility.
