Since the CDC eviction moratorium extension only covers counties when they are in a substantial (or higher) rate of transmission, the link below is a great resource to see if the moratorium is still in effect or not in Chester County. The site also has a tool to complete a declaration to trigger the moratorium rights.

Your county’s CDC Declaration will protect you for 14 days from your county’s last substantial or high rate of COVID-19 transmission. You will continue to be protected if your county’s transmission rate stays substantial or high. If your county’s rate is not substantial or high for at least one day out of 14 consecutive days, you will no longer be protected and may be at risk of getting evicted.
We recommend you check back regularly to make sure you continue to be protected. It’s updated daily with COVID-19 rates.
