District attorneys in a growing number of Pennsylvania counties say they won’t prosecute those who defy stay-at-home measures put in place by Gov. Tom Wolf to curb the transmission of the CCP virus.

It comes as Wolf on May 11 threatened to block federal aid to Pennsylvania counties that violate state measures by allowing “non-life-sustaining” businesses to reopen, warning that those jurisdictions could face consequences.
