Note: The following is the updated version of the list of life-sustaining vs. non-life-sustaining businesses issued by Gov. Tom Wolf Thursday. The list accompanied an executive order mandating that all non-life-sustaining businesses close to help slow the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) in the commonwealth. Wolf subsequently delayed enforcement of his order until Monday morning. Businesses that still need clarification on whether they are considered life-sustaining or non-life-sustaining should email the Pennsylvania Department of Community & Economic Development at ra-dcedcs@pa.gov.
