Troop A has issued 19 warnings to non-life-sustaining busineses.

More than 100 businesses received warnings in the first eights days since Gov. Tom Wolf ordered the closing of all non-life-sustaining operations to slow the spread of covid-19, Pennsylvania State Police reported Tuesday.

On Monday, state police issued 11 warnings, bringing the total to 107 since enforcement of the order started March 23.

Troop A, which includes Westmoreland, Cambria and Indiana counties, has warned 19 businesses — the most warnings issued by any troop in the state.

Troop B, which includes Allegheny, Fayette, Greene and Washington counties, has warned five businesses.

Troop D, which includes Armstrong, Beaver, Butler, Lawrence and Mercer counties, has issued seven warnings.

Police are issuing warnings in an effort to get businesses to voluntary comply but will issue citations, if necessary, Col. Robert Evanchick, state police commissioner, said last week.

Names of businesses that received warnings aren’t being released.
