The first reported cases of the coronavirus have now come to Pennsylvania.
Governor Tom Wolf addressed reporters earlier today.
“We received confirmation of two presumed cases of COVID-19 or coronavirus in Pennsylvania,” Wolf said. “Now I’m saying presumed positive for a reason, because the results have to be confirmed by the CDC.”
Wolf says it’s important for residents to take the necessary precautions.
“Right now the emphasis of the plan is mitigation tactics to keep this virus from spreading widely,” Wolf said. “The confirmation of these presumed positive cases should serve as a reminder to the role that every Pennsylvanian must play.”
The cases were reported in Wayne and Delaware Counties which are both on the eastern side of the state.
