Allegheny Co. Leaders Hope To Release New Coronavirus Order Tomorrow – CBS Pittsburgh

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) – Allegheny County Health Department Director Dr. Debra Bogen may issue a new order tomorrow to help mitigate the spread of coronavirus as the county has seen several days of triple digit new coronavirus cases.

At a press conference Tuesday, Dr. Bogen says she hopes to issue a new order and is considering limiting event sizes, as well as and addressing food and beverage service.

“I hope to release a new order by later tomorrow afternoon,” says Dr. Bogen. “I am considering modifying the event limits and restrictions for outdoor food and beverage service at restaurants. I leave this open to change depending on our cases and the other metrics we use in making those decisions.”

KDKA’s Andy Sheehan reports it appears the 25 person limit will be lifted and some outdoor dining and maybe some drinks might be allowed.

Dr. Bogen says she doesn’t think shutting down the entire community is effective, but said Allegheny County will take it “one step at a time.” This comes as she says the county has seen more positive coronavirus cases in the past two weeks than the first two months.

Last week, the county ordered a week-long shut down of restaurants, bars and the casino and the cancellation of events and activities with over 25 people.

Before that order, the county prohibited the consumption of on-site alcohol to help stem the surge of new coronavirus cases.

She says there’s too much of a delay in cases to tell if the order is working. It may take a week or two to see the impact.

Restaurants, which had been just hanging on, have begun to close. Just this week, the popular NOLA in Market Square and Spoon in East Liberty called it quits, saying COVID and the restriction had put them over the edge.

Restaurants are limited to takeout only, and deli owner and meat wholesaler Jeff Cohen says accommodations like allowing indoor dining and alcoholic drinks must be made to stop the carnage.

“This isn’t going away. So we’re going to have to figure out a way to work through this, being open, staying in business unless they want us all just to close and go under,” he says.
