Not sure if you're a "life-sustaining" business? Please look at our frequently asked questions regarding that HERE. If you are a business that is on the list, but feel you should be an exception from this order, send a waiver form by email  RA-dcexemption@pa.gov or complete an online Waiver/Exemption Form here.

In the Application for waiver, the businesses' approach to social distancing plans and procedures should be clearly outlined.
