Coronavirus Pennsylvania: Protesters To Call On Gov. Tom Wolf To Reopen Economy On Monday

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Protesters will call on Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf to reopen the economy on Monday in Harrisburg. Wolf signaled he didn't mind the protest and said Friday, "This is a democracy."

On Saturday, the health secretary expressed some concern about the demonstrators' well-being.

"If those people do not practice social distancing, if they don't stay in their cars if they come out and they're congregating together in a large crowd, of course with a global pandemic of a respiratory virus like COVID-19, that could facilitate the spread and I would actually worry very much about the health of those people," Dr. Rachel Levine said.

There were more stay-at-home protests across the country on Saturday.
