USA Today and the Cincinnati Enquirer, reported that Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf has ordered "non-essential" businesses to close down amid the mushrooming new coronavirus outbreak, but cleared Procter & Gamble's largest factory in the U.S. to continue churning out paper products 24/7.

Located in Mehoopany, Pa., the plant manufactures Charmin toilet paper, Bounty paper towels and Pampers and Luvs diapers. Wolf exempted factories producing "life-sustaining" products from his business ban announced in late March.

Maintaining production will come as a relief to American consumers: shortages of paper products, notably toilet paper and paper towels quickly occurred as consumers' concerns about the pandemic grew.
