COVID concerns: All York County buildings closed to public starting today
York Dispatch
York County will close all county buildings to the public beginning Dec. 21, and continuing through Jan. 8, in an effort to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 around the holidays, county officials announced Wednesday.
Offices will reopen to the public Jan. 11, officials said.
York County Commissioner Julie Wheeler said the closures are an anticipatory measure based on the spike in positive cases after the Thanksgiving holiday, which is why they won t go into effect immediately. We thought that in an abundance of caution, we should close the buildings to the public, she said.
On Nov. 20, Jesse Richard Morgan sat down with an investigator looking into allegations of voter fraud and gave a lengthy sworn statement in which Morgan, a contract truck driver for the U.S. Postal Service, said he believed he had hauled thousands of mail-in ballots from New York to Pennsylvania in October.
The 28-page sworn affidavit is confusing at times, but the story Morgan tells is that someone at the postal distribution center in Bethpage, on Long Island, told him that he was hauling mail-in ballots to Harrisburg and Lancaster postal distribution centers.
His statement is attached to a lawsuit filed by several Pennsylvania state representatives, led by Rep. Daryl Metcalfe, a Butler County Republican, asking the Commonwealth Court to throw out the results of the 2020 presidential election and alleging that the stateâs administration of the election was âso severely flawed it is impossible to certify the accuracy of the purported results.â
No one likes this situation, nobody, Wolf said.
Pennsylvania Restaurant and Lodging Association President John Longstreet does not expect the act will pass until February at its earliest. Tonight bartenders and servers across the state are going to hear they re out of a job, he said.
Due to the latest mandate, Longstreet expect most restaurants will begin closing permanently or temporarily this week.

The long rumored “shutdown” has now been made official by Governor Tom Wolf, in part targeting taverns and licensed restaurants by limiting these businesses to take-out only.
Once again, small business taverns and licensed restaurants are bearing the brunt of the mitigation order with no financial or legislative help on the horizon.
