"We haven't even made the list up yet," Wolf said. "We don't have hard and fast rules in terms of putting people in these hard and fast regions. I think every agency in the state has a different definition of the region. We're going to be looking at the likelihood that groups of individuals are going to be safe or not safe. If they're not going to be safe, we're not going to reopen."
