The yellow phase allows in-person retail, outdoor dining at restaurants and gatherings of more than 25 people. The green phase allows operation of indoor dining at restaurants and bars, personal care services, health and wellness, entertainment and construction and gatherings of more than 250 people. As of June 3, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported more than 73,400 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Pennsylvania and more than 5,700 deaths.
