OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR

AMENDMENT TO THE ORDER OF


THE GOVERNOR OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA REGARDING
THE CLOSURE OF ALL BUSINESSES THAT ARE NOT LIFE SUSTAINING

I hereby amend my Order directing “The Closure of All Businesses that Are Not Life
Sustaining” dated March 19, 2020, as subsequently amended. Section 1 of that Order is amended by
deleting Section 1 in its entirety and replacing it with the following:

Section 1: Prohibition on Operation of Certain Businesses That Are Not Life Sustaining

All prior orders and guidance regarding business closures, to the extent they conflict
with this Order, are hereby superseded.

No person or entity shall operate a place of business in the Commonwealth that is not a
life-sustaining business regardless of whether the business is open to members of the
public unless the business has been designated to conduct operations as described below.
This prohibition does not apply to virtual or telework operations (e.g., work from home), so long
as social distancing and other mitigation measures are followed in such operations. Life-
sustaining businesses may remain open, but they must follow, at a minimum, the social
distancing practices and other mitigation measures described by the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention to protect workers and patrons and, as applicable, the requirements of
the “Order of the Secretary of the Pennsylvania Department of Health Directing Building Safety
Measures” issued April 6, 2020, and the “Order of the Secretary of the Pennsylvania Department
of Health Directing Public Health Safety Measures for Businesses Permitted to Maintain In-
person Operations” issued April 15, 2020.

The following businesses are authorized to conduct operations in the manner


described, as long as they follow, at a minimum, the aforementioned guidance and Orders:

A. Online motor vehicle sales are authorized to commence statewide immediately;


B. The Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board is authorized to commence curbside pickup
sales statewide immediately;
C. Limited construction activity is authorized to commence in-person
operations statewide beginning on May 8, 2020.

A list of businesses that may open or remain open is attached to and incorporated into
this Order.

Enforcement actions previously commenced against businesses that are out of


compliance on March 23, 2020, at 8:00 a.m. and enforcement of this Order is ongoing.

This Amendment is effectively immediately. The March 19, 2020, Order, as amended, remains
unchanged in every other respect.

GIVEN under my hand and the Seal of the Governor, at


the city of Harrisburg, on this twentieth day of April two
thousand twenty, the year of the commonwealth the two
hundred and forty-fourth.
