Businesses to get more guidance soon on COVID-19 response

PITTSBURGH — The Pennsylvania Department of Health will soon release more advice to businesses that have discovered an employee has tested positive for COVID-19.

There's an existing protocol for businesses on the Health Department website, but Dr. Rachel Levine, the secretary of the Pennsylvania Department of Health, said Sunday afternoon that it would be added to.

"We're looking to flesh it out with more guidance at the beginning of this week," Levine said. There were no further details available.

The physical locations of many Pennsylvania businesses, as well as schools, have already been closed by the governor’s orders, until further notice. But there are other life-sustaining businesses that have been granted permission to remain open, from health care facilities to grocery stores and pharmacies to gasoline stations, some manufacturing facilities and oil and gas production, to name just a few types.
