Coronavirus update: Wolf announces a new batch of yellow counties, for a total of 49

As he runs to succeed Wolf as governor, Shapiro says he is against some of the same COVID measures that his fellow Democrat used to help manage the pandemic.

Wolf tested positive for the virus in December 2020 as well. He was asymptomatic at the time, according to his office.

The county hopes to raise vaccination rates among county employees, under a mandate enacted Oct. 18. The incentive expires Dec. 31.
