All K-12 schools in Pennsylvania will close for 10 business days effective Monday, Gov. Tom Wolf announced Friday. The closure is due to the spread of the new coronavirus, the virus that causes COVID-19.

At the end of 10 days, Wolf said he will re-evaluate and decide whether continued closure is needed. "Be aware that no school district will be penalized if it fails to meet the 180-day or school-hours requirements," Wolf said in an announcement.

On Friday, health officials said the state's first pediatric case of the virus was reported in Monroe County. There is no testing backlog in Pennsylvania, Health Secretary Rachel Levine said. She noted all insurance companies in Pennsylvania and Medicaid will cover the COVID-19 test. Health care providers can order the tests, and at least two commercial providers are doing testing
