The closure of all non-essential businesses in Pennsylvania has been extended "indefinitely," the governor said Monday.
Harvest in Newtown, which had been offering take out, has closed. It will reopen following the coronavirus restrictions. "Please remember the people in the hospitality industry are emotionally and financially struggling right now. It is a very real mourning process as their worlds are turned upside down with no clear date on when the lights will be turned back on," the restaurant said in a Facebook post.
