As the county moves closer to reopening, local health officials echoed the sentiment that the pandemic is not over.

“Green does not mean green,” said Butler Health System spokeswoman Jana Panther. “At least not in the sense that everything is now a 'go,' and back to normal.”

Clarion County was moved last Friday to the green phase of Gov. Tom Wolf's reopening plan. Butler County will move to green Friday.

According to the state Department of Health's Wednesday report, Butler County added three cases of COVID-19 to its total of 235. The county's death toll remained at 12.

Panther said although the hospital will resume operating close to 100 percent, there will still be new protocols in place to keep people from getting sick.

“Safety precautions still apply, and they will continue,” Panther said.

The following numbers on the coronavirus pandemic were compiled from the regular news releases from the Butler Health System and the state Department of Health.
