Wolf joins governors developing reopening plan
The leaders of six Mid-Atlantic states, including Pennsylvania, announced the formation of a committee to help tackle how they will reopen businesses, schools, and other things that have been shuttered by the coronavirus pandemic.
Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf joined Gov. Andrew Cuomo (New York), Gov. Phil Murphy (New Jersey), Gov. Ned Lamont (Connecticut), Gov. John Carney (Delaware), and Gov. Gina Raimondo (Rhode Island) on a media conference call briefing Monday to reveal the steps that will be taken.
Each state will nominate a representative from the health sector, an economic official, and the governors’ chiefs of staff for the working group.
Wolf suggested that the Keystone State’s participants would be Department of Health Secretary Dr. Rachel Levine, Department of Community and Economic Development Secretary Dennis Davin, and his chief of staff, Mike Brunelle.
“We all know that we can do anything better when we work together in this region, and we have done good things by working together,” Wolf said. “This partnership, this council that we’re forming here recognizes that simple fact.”
