State police cite Lehigh Valley gym owner who reopened in defiance of coronavirus closure orders

The owner of a Lehigh County gym who opened Sunday in defiance of the shutdown of non-life-sustaining businesses received two summary citations, making it the first Lehigh Valley business cited during the coronavirus pandemic.

Ed G. Frack opened his gym, SuperSets, in Hanover Township and encouraged other struggling small-business owners and anyone who supported them to join him outside.

Trooper Nathan Branosky said troopers were called back to the gym Monday and cited the business.
