Chester County Government announced the extension of the county’s essential services-only operation to help slow the spread of coronavirus. The extended period runs to Thursday, June 4.

PennDOT announced that it would use existing photos on file for customers who renew their driver's license and identification card. "Using a customer's existing photo will help limit the number of people in our driver and photo license centers, and by extension, help reduce the risk of spreading COVID-19," said Acting PennDOT Secretary Yassmin Gramian in a press release. "This new process is not only a convenience, but it will help to keep our customers and staff safe." All customers who renew their driver's license or photo ID card online or through the mail will receive a new product using the most recent photo of that individual that exists in PennDOT's system. No camera cards will be issued to these customers, and they will receive their new product by mail within 15 days. The renewal process is complete when the final product is received.

Delaware County Council announced that additional COVID-19 testing sites, including a mobile unit testing site, are being added in Delaware County. These other options expand diagnostic testing access for residents whether or not they have health insurance. Currently, there are two ways in which a resident can be tested for COVID-19 in Delaware County. A resident can contact his or her primary care physician. The physician will screen the patient and order the test and direct the patient to a testing site at a local health care system. Or, if a resident does not have a primary care physician, he/she can contact the Chester County Health Department at 610-344-6225 and select option 4. The CCHD will determine if the resident qualifies for testing based on specific criteria. Residents who meet the testing criteria will be given instructions on when and where to be tested.
