For 40 of them, that's exactly what happened, the Department of Agriculture said, noting an additional 180 were warned, officials said.
Earlier this month, Gov. Tom Wolf issued a temporary COVID-19 mitigation order closing indoor dining, gyms and limiting indoor gatherings to a maximum capacity of 10 people. That will remain in effect until Jan. 4.
