And now, Preston and Steve's news update with Kathy Romano.

All right, it is Thursday, and it's April 16th.

Good morning, Kathy.

Good morning in the news this morning.

The essential businesses that remain open in Pennsylvania in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic are now ordered by the state to provide a number of protective measures for their employees starting Sunday evening, the Wolf administration announced. The order announced on Wednesday includes a requirement that all workers at the essential businesses that are still open must wear a mask and the employer must provide or approve masks.

The most customers who go inside those businesses must wear a mask as well.

Businesses are ordered to deny entry to any customers who are not wearing a mask unless the

business is providing medication, medical supplies, or food, in which case the business must provide alternative methods of pickup or delivery of goods. See, now I have not been wearing a mask going out. So now this is saying that I have to or I could be denied entry into stores. Yeah. I think, and does it constitute as well, Kathy, if you have like a protective scarf wrapped around you or a banana, so that should get it done, right?

Right, exactly.

I went to the post office.

Right, right.

Put it on right before I was going to the post office.

So I pull it out of my pocket, and right as I pull it out of the pocket, the elastic band that goes on your ear, snap some breaks. I'm like, I'm not going to drive all the way home and get another mask. and so I went in without the mask on and I felt I was the only person in there

without a mask on.

Don't you feel free? home and get another mask. And so I went in without the mask on.

And I felt I was the only person in there without a mask on it. Don't you feel freaking now? I actually felt like the goofball. It's like, outwarder. Yeah, I know, I know. It's like, oh my God. I was at the supermarket. The same thing, Preston. I was like, I was one of three people without masks. I'm like, oh, my God.

And actually, the guy working at the post office was,

he's the first person I've encountered that was a little bit militant about the rules. And I get it, I understand, but he's like, you know, stand back there. And I'm like, you mean behind the line? I'm already standing behind? Yeah. And I'm like, okay. And I'm like, I'm already standing behind the line.
