Governor Wolf announced mitigation strategies to stop the spread of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) in the following Counties beginning Friday, March 13, in Montgomery County; Saturday, March 14, in Delaware County; and Bucks and Chester counties, beginning on March 15. The mitigation strategies will be effective for 14 days. The Governor’s mitigation plan for all Counties includes: (1) a no visitor policy will be implemented for correctional facilities, nursing homes, and others to be evaluated, (2) schools and child care centers licensed by the commonwealth will be closed, (3) adult day care centers will be closed, and (4) while travel is allowed, it is requested that people refrain from non-essential travel.
The purpose of this communication is to outline functions managed by the Office of Developmental Programs (ODP) that will be suspended and the essential functions that will continue during the implementation of the above listed Counties’ mitigation plan. If this mitigation strategy is applied in other counties/regions in the state, ODP will take a similar approach.
