Pennsylvania s Department of Health Tuesday added more than 6600 new cases of coronavirus. Nearly 2500 people are currently hospitalized with the virus, 534 of whom are in the intensive care unit.
Pennsylvania s Department of Health has told all COVID-19 vaccine providers in the state to stop administering doses of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine until April 20th at the earliest. It comes after the FDA and CDC both recommended an immediate pause in the distribution of one of the Johnson & Johnson coronavirus vaccine due to concerns about blood clots. The FDA s Janet Woodcock emphasizes there were only six women who reported blood clots within a week or two of being vaccinated.

Nazareth Area middle and high schools should stick with 2-day-a-week in-school classes rather than go to five days a week, according to the superintendent.
Nazareth Area School District Superintendent Dennis Riker sent a letter Monday to parents of middle and high school students outlining his recommendation to the school board.
He said there isn’t enough room in the middle and high schools to maintain six feet of social distancing for the full student body. Also, students in those schools switch classes and don’t move from room to room as a full class like the children in the elementary and intermediate schools.
