As the county sees only minor increases in positive cases, Butler Health System continues to evaluate its elective services.

“The Reopening Steering Committee is studying the safest way to resume elective procedures and surgeries,” said BHS spokeswoman Jana Panther.

The committee met for the first time Thursday. Panther said the discussions are still early, and the system does not have anything definitive at this time.

Among the issues being considered are patient selection, testing criteria, and dates to resume certain services.

“It is also closely paying attention to any direction that may be provided by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the federal government, or Pennsylvania government,” Panther said of the steering committee.

Confirmed COVID-19 cases in Butler County went up by four from Thursday, according to state officials.
