| 0:08.4 | And now, Preston and Steve's news update with Kathy Romano. |
| 0:13.4 | Today is Wednesday, May 5th. Good morning, Kathy. |
| 0:16.6 | Good morning in the news this morning. Pennsylvania will lift all COVID-19 restrictions, |
| 0:20.3 | except in order to wear a mask while in public on Memorial Day. The Wolf Administration |
| 0:24.3 | announced Tuesday. Capacity restrictions on bars, restaurants, and indoor and outdoor gatherings |
| 0:29.2 | will go away on May 31st, more than a year into the pandemic. The state made the announcement |

| 1:21.3 | can continue to impose their own restrictions and other state mandates, including a requirement |
| 1:25.8 | that hospitals and long-term care facilities report new infections will remain. |
| 1:30.6 | Pennsylvania's governor, Tom Wolfe, announced all of this yesterday, except, you know, for wearing the mask, will be lifted on Memorial Day, but officials in Philadelphia said that they are not doing that. |
| 1:40.8 | So health commissioner, Dr. Thomas Farley, said the city of Philadelphia will ease restrictions when city leaders say it's time to. We're going to review the New Jersey |
